Abstract

A system for optimizing optics is provided. The system is configured to calibrate a position of a reference arm of an interferometric imaging system such that an image of a sample is visible when the sample is positioned at a working distance of an objective lens to provide an initial calibrated position. An image is obtained using the initial calibrated position. Image quality of the obtained image is assessed to determine if the obtained image is a valid image. A path length of the reference arm is adjusted if it is determined that the obtained image is not a valid image. A difference between the calibrated position of the reference arm and the adjusted position of the reference arm is calculated. System elements are adjusted based on the calculated difference such that the sample is visible when the sample is positioned at the working distance at the adjusted position.
