Abstract: A quantitative light microscope for viewing and scanning microscopic objects that uses a solid state detector (7) in the primary image plane. The microscope has a light source (1) with a condensor (2) and diffusion filter (3). A moveable stage (5) is provided to allow X, Y, Z plane displacements in order to scan objects under the microscope. There is an objective (6) to magnify the image of the object and project this image onto a two dimensional solid state image sensor (7) positioned in the primary image plane of the objective. The solid state image sensor (7) sends signals to an analog-to-digital converter (8) where the signals are digitized and sent to a frame memory (9). A monitor (10) is used to display the image of the object as stored in frame memory. The present invention can be interfaced with a computer (12) to allow for automatic focusing and scanning of an image. The computer also houses storage means to store images. Methods of scanning an object are also described. A prism element can be used to obtain spectral scans of an object. In another scanning method, a first edge row of pixels is used to detect an object of interest in the scanned image. This first detection row activates an area of the sensor array at a later time to capture the entire image. In this way, only relevant information is collected and processed.
