Abstract
Multi-modality imaging systems and methods for enabling controllable and/or automated switching between different imaging systems or modes. An imaging system includes a base plate having a first exposed region and a second region, a sample stage configured to hold a sample platform, and a first translation mechanism configured to translate the sample stage on the base plate along a first axis between a first position and a second position. In the first position the sample stage is positioned proximal to the first exposed region, and in the second position, the sample stage is positioned proximal to the second region. An illumination device is configured to illuminate a portion of the first exposed region, and a second translation mechanism is configured to translate the illumination device along a second axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis.
