A multi-zone temperature control device has multiple thermo-conductive reservoirs for accommodating a specimen, multiple temperature adjustment devices for adjusting temperatures of multiple adjustment blocks, a driving device, and a control device. The control device executes multiple temperature control procedures at the same time. During the execution of each temperature control procedure, the present disclosure makes the adjustment blocks contact and leave the thermo-conductive reservoirs in the same zone, such that the thermo-conductive reservoirs reach the target temperatures of the temperature control procedure sequentially.

An optical calibration tool includes a first body, a light emitter, a light receiver, a second body, and a light reflecting member. The first body has a first engaging port and a second engaging port. The light emitter and the light receiver are disposed in the first body. The second body has a third engaging port and a channel communicated with each other. The third engaging port is configured to selectively engage one of the first engaging port and the second engaging port. When the third engaging port is engaged with the first engaging port, the light emitter is optically coupled to the light reflecting member. When the third engaging port is engaged with the second engaging port, the light receiver is optically coupled to the light reflecting member.

The disclosure proposes an auto-focus method and an image capturing device including a distance sensor and an image sensor having a lens and a sensing array. The method includes the following steps. First, distance sensor data and phase detection data are respectively obtained from the distance sensor and the sensing array. The lens is controlled to perform a course search within a focusing range by switching between a distance sensor auto-focus mode and a phase detection auto-focus mode based on the distance sensor data and the phase detection data so as to determine a fine-search range. The lens is further controlled to perform a fine search within the fine-search range in a contrast detection auto-focus mode so as to determine an optimal focusing lens position. Next, the lens is controlled to move to the optimal focusing lens position.
