[0002] In modern medicine, biology, materials science, and other fields, microscopes are an important research tool, widely used in cytology, pathology, microbiology, and other fields. Traditional microscopes place slides directly on the microscope and require manual movement; scanning under traditional microscopes requires manual movement of the slides during sample scanning and synthesis.

[0003] With the development of science and technology, automation and intelligence are gradually becoming the development trend of microscopy technology. Although existing automated microscope systems can achieve automatic scanning and image acquisition to a certain extent, their complex mechanical structure and high cost limit the application of such equipment, especially in primary medical institutions or scientific research institutions, where their popularity is low.

[0004] In addition, although some scanners are equipped with self-slicing modules, these modules are usually bound to specific models of scanners. The self-slicing modules need to be powered and communicate with the scanner, and have extremely poor versatility. They cannot adapt to a variety of different brands and models of microscopes or scanners, which further limits their application in different scenarios.

[0005] In summary, it is of great significance to develop a slicing self-moving module with compact structure, low cost and strong versatility. Utility Model Content
