Abstract: Disclosed herein are sample dishes for use with microscopes that are simple to mount on a microscope and facilitate easy manipulation of tissue samples disposed thereon during imaging as well as methods of their use. A sample dish comprises an optical interface and, optionally, a support member that holds the optical interface. The optical interface of a sample dish is suitably transparent and planar such that a focal plane of a microscope can reside uniformly at or within a surface of a sample during imaging. In certain embodiments, a support member comprises a dish for holding excess fluid. In certain embodiments, a sample dish comprises separation ribs. In certain embodiments, a sample dish comprises one or more manipulation members (e.g., tabs). In certain embodiments, a sample dish is used with an imaging artifact reducing fluid.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems for imaging of samples using an array of micro optical elements and methods of their use. In some embodiments, an optical chip comprising an array of micro optical elements moves relative to an imaging window and a detector in order to scan over a sample to produce an image. A focal plane can reside within a sample or on its surface during imaging. Detecting optics are used to detect back-emitted light collected by an array of micro optical elements that is generated by an illumination beam impinging on a sample. In some embodiments, an imaging system has a large field of view and a large optical chip such that an entire surface of a sample can be imaged quickly. In some embodiments, a sample is accessible by a user during imaging due to the sample being exposed while disposed on or over an imaging window.

Abstract: Systems and methods to identify and/or reduce or eliminate sample motion artifacts are disclosed. Sample motion artifacts may be reduced or eliminated using scan patterns where an acquisition time difference between when perimeter pixels in adjacent tiles are acquired is reduced, as compared to a conventional raster scan to reduce or eliminate discontinuities that would otherwise appear at tile boundaries in an image. In some embodiments, test images acquired using relatively small test scan patterns or intensities of test points acquired at different times may be compared to determine whether sample motion has occurred. In some embodiments, intensity of adjacent pixels at a tile boundary are compared. In some embodiments, intensity of one or more single pixels is monitored over time to determine whether sample motion has occurred over a period of time. In some embodiments, a flattening or reshaping tool may be used to suppress sample motion during imaging.
