Abstract
A method of generating in-focus images of measurement locations of a sample holder in a microscopy imaging system is provided. A camera sensor and an array of focusing optics are positioned at a first focal distance from the sample holder. A first image of a measurement location is acquired using the camera sensor. A candidate output image associated with the camera sensor and the array of focusing optics is developed in accordance with the first image. The camera sensor with the array of focusing optics is positioned at a second distance from the sample holder and a second image of the measurement location is acquired using the camera sensor. A portion of the candidate output image is updated in accordance with a portion of the second image in accordance with a selection criterion. The updated candidate image is transmitted.
