A system () for imaging microscopic samples comprises a light source () for exciting fluorescence from at least one sample, a photosensor () configured to detect light deflected by a beam splitter () from an optical excitation path directed to the sample and output an electrical signal of optical flux to the sample, a camera () configured to receive and form an image of fluorescence light emitted from the sample, and a controller () comprising an integrator () configured to integrate the electrical signal from the photodetector and a comparator configured to compare the integrated output to a predetermined threshold, wherein the controller is configured to control an exposure time of the camera such that each sample receives substantially the same total optical flux of incident light during a duration of camera exposure which is terminated when a predetermined threshold representative of the total optical flux is met.
