Abstract:
A slide glass for providing color information used as a comparison reference for color evaluation and color correction of an image of a measurement sample captured by means of a microscope. The slide glass is used for a microscope to capture an image of a measurement sample. The slide glass is composed of a glass sheet on which a sample is mounted and one or more sets of micro color filters placed on one side of the glass sheet. Each set of micro color filters include two or more color reference micro color filters for sampling a color used as a comparison reference used for color evaluation and color correction of the image. The micro color filters for color references in the same set are so arranged as not to overlap with one another and have three or more mutually different reference colors out of all hues. The sizes of the color filters in the same set are in a range in which they can be viewed in the field of the objective lens of the microscope.
Abstract:
An image acquisition apparatus 1A includes a sample stage 10 for placing a sample S thereon, an image pickup device 20 capable of acquiring a two-dimensional image and TDI driving, an image pickup optical system 30 including an objective lens 32, a scanning unit for acquiring an observation image while scanning the sample S by the image pickup device 20 and the image pickup optical system 30, and a focus oscillation control device 40 for controlling oscillation of a focus in the sample S so that an image pickup focus in the sample S oscillates at an oscillation frequency fs in an optical axis direction. The focus oscillation control device 40 sets the oscillation frequency fs so that the oscillation frequency fs substantially coincides with Ns times (Ns is an integer not less than 1) the basic frequency, which is a reciprocal 1/Ti of an image pickup period Ti of TDI driving in the image pickup device 20. Thus, an image acquisition apparatus capable of efficiently acquiring an observation image with focus extended can be realized.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To perform a photon counting image pickup with high resolution, and to exactly regulate a light quantity, by corresponding the generating position of a brightness point recorded over plural picture element areas up to this time to a single picture element. CONSTITUTION:A coordinate in a vertical direction, and the leftmost end coordinate and the rightmost end coordinate in horizontal directions outputted with a position address generation circuit 12 are stored at a position memory 13. The coordinate in the horizontal direction, and the the rightmost end coordinate outputted with a position detection circuit are compared with the content of the position memory 13 stored at a preceding scanning time, and the coordinates at a left end and a right end are selected by finding the left side and the right side of the circumscribing quadrangle of the brightness point, and they are stored at the position memory 13. A vertical coordinate at one preceding horizontal scanning is stored at the position memory 13 from the vertical coordinate outputted from the position detection circuit 12, and the coordinates of four sides are read out by a CPU14, and the center of the circumscribing quadrangle of the brightness point is calculated, and '1' is added on the content of the picture element of a picture memory 4 corresponding to the coordinate. After a regulated time of accumulation, a digital signal outputted from the picture memory is converted to an analog signal, and is displayed on a television monitor 6.
