Microscope

The present invention relates to an illumination module for a microscope apparatus, comprising a plurality of monochromatic sources and a control device, wherein the control device is configured to control states of the plurality of the monochromatic sources, and the control device includes a selecting and switching module which realizes a switch among the plurality of monochromatic sources in response to an operation of the user. The design of the illumination module makes the microscope apparatus compact in structure, highly reliable, convenient in use, and extremely enhancing the work efficiency of the user. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling the illumination module, and a microscope apparatus comprising the illumination module.

A microscope, including an x motor, a y motor, and a z axis focusing driving mechanism that drive a stage to move; at least one knob operatively coupled to the x motor or y motor or the z axis focusing driving mechanism selectively via a controller; and at least one button coupled to the controller in communication. The controller is configured to disconnect a normal operative coupling between the knob and the z axis focusing driving mechanism and establish an operative coupling between the knob and the x motor or y motor when receiving a predetermined button signal, and restore the normal operative coupling between the knob and the z axis focusing driving mechanism and disconnect the operative coupling between the knob and the x motor or y motor when no longer receiving the predetermined button signal or when receiving a next button signal.

The present invention relates to a method for automatically segmenting a color image composed of pixels having been captured for example using a digital microscope. The method provides for a color to be selected representing a region to be segmented of the color image. The colors assigned to the pixels and the color selected are in accordance with a first color model. A clearance for each of the pixels is determined representing a distance between the selected color and the color of the corresponding pixel. The colors assigned to the pixels and the color selected are in accordance with a perception-oriented second color model. One of the pixels is assigned to the segmented region when the clearance assigned to the corresponding pixel is below a settable threshold value and when the hue assigned to the corresponding pixel is within a settable interval around the hue assigned to the selected color.
