An in-vivo imaging device incorporating a double field of view imaging system, having a wide field of view with moderate magnification, and a narrow field of view with substantially higher magnification, axially superimposed thereon. A single imaging array is used for both fields of view. At least some of the optical elements are shared between both of the two different field of view imaging systems. The imaging elements for the high magnification system, being of substantially smaller diameters than those of the low magnification system, are disposed coaxially with the imaging elements of the low magnification system, and can thus use the same imaging array without the need for deflection mirrors, beam combiners or motion systems. Their location on the axis of the low magnification system means that a small part of the imaging plane, around its central axis, is blocked out by the high magnification components.

The present invention relates to an integrated video camera device and self-adapting automatic focus method. The method includes: using climbing method to a curve composed of an evaluation function evaluating the definition and the definition evaluation values of multiple images acquired continuously, selecting a focus method base on the zooming situation, searching the peak of the curve and driving the lens to reach the focusing position corresponding to the peak of the curve, performing real time motion detection to the lens scenes upon searching the peak, driving the lens motor to startup a new cycle of automatic focus process when a certain degree of fuzzy is judged to appear on the lens scene or the moving scene varies and at a non-focus status. The invention has beneficial effects that the device and the method can effectively determine the focus direction in a variety of zoom magnifications, can 'recognize' images at fuzzy status and accelerate them out of the fuzzy status, and overcomes the problems of the traditional focus method that it is difficult to judge focus direction in the fuzzy region under high magnifications, and the traditional focus method has slow focus velocity and repeated oscillation.

A method and apparatus for automated cell analysis of biological specimens automatically scans at a low magnification to acquire images which are analyzed to determine candidate cell objects of interest. The low magnification images are converted from a first color space to a second color space. The color space converted image is then low pass filtered and compared to a threshold to remove artifacts and background objects from the candidate object of interest pixels of the color converted image. The candidate object of interest pixels are morphologically processed to group candidate object of interest pixels together into groups which are compared to blob parameters to identify candidate objects of interest which correspond to cells or other structures relevant to medical diagnosis of the biological specimen. The location coordinates of the objects of interest are stored and additional images of the candidate cell objects are acquired at high magnification. The high magnification images are analyzed in the same manner as the low magnification images to confirm the candidate objects of interest which are objects of interest. A high magnification image of each confirmed object of interest is stored for later review and evaluation by a pathologist.

An X-ray generator of this invention has an X-ray monitor that monitors a state of an X-ray emitted from a target. Hence the state of the X-ray can be monitored in real time to maintain the X-ray in a constant state. The X-ray monitor is positioned off the path on which an X-ray transmitted from a first exit window travels. Hence, when the X-ray is emitted from the first exit window to an object to be inspected, the X-ray monitor does not obstruct the approaching of the object to the first exit window. This makes it possible to acquire X-ray images of high magnification.

An apparatus and method acquires and stores multiple resolution images from a specimen on a support and provides to the user a low magnification, reconstructed macro image of the entire specimen, or a large portion thereof, to aid the person in selecting points of interest to be viewed or analyzed at higher magnifications and resolution. The reconstructed image is formed of a large number of tiled, stored images which are coordinated and assembled to form the macro image of the specimen which is displayed on a monitor. Preferably, the stored, reconstructed image is reduced further in size by a software system before it is displayed to the user. The display may be on a local monitor over a local area network or sent over the Internet to the user who is typically a pathologist. The user selects by a marker such as a cursor the defined area of interest or region and then views higher magnification images or has them analyzed. Preferably, the pathologist can scroll to shift digitized, adjacent image tiles into view on the monitor. A fully computer-controlled microscope is used to acquire and store the digitized images and the illustrated microscope can be remotely controlled to change objective lenses, focus, light intensity, filters, field diaphragm, and to shift the microscope stage by a controller.

Interferometric scanning method(s) and apparatus for measuring rotationally and non-rotationally symmetric test optics either having aspherical surfaces or that produce aspherical wavefronts. A spherical or partial spherical wavefront is generated from a known location along a scanning axis though the use of a decollimator carrying a spherical reference surface. The test optic is aligned with respect to the scanning axis and selectively moved along it relative to the known origin so that the spherical wavefront intersects the test optic at the apex of the aspherical surface and at radial zones where the spherical wavefront and the aspheric surface possess common tangents. The test surface is imaged onto a space resolving detector to form interferograms containing phase information about the differences in optical path length between the spherical reference surface and the test surface while the axial distance, v, by which said test optic moves relative to said spherical reference surface is interferometrically measured. Based on an analysis of the phase information contained in the interferograms and the axial distance, v, the deviation in the shape of the aspheric surface from its design in a direction normal to the aspheric surface is determined. In scanning, two cameras having different magnification are preferably used simultaneously with the one of higher magnification observing near the part axis where high fringe densities occur while that of lower magnification observes the full part surface. Special procedures are described for alternately improving accuracy near the axis.

The invention provides a rapid and automatic focusing method and system for camera zoom. The rapid and automatic focusing method and system have the advantages that in the camera zoom process, the distance between a current scene center object and a lens is judged according to the last focusing position of a focusing motor, and therefore the closet tracking curve is selected for tracking; compared with the original mode that an image is significantly out of focus with high magnification due to the scheme that zoom is conducted at first and then focusing is conducted, the focusing speed can be greatly improved after zoom. The invention further provides a rapid and automatic focusing process. Different focusing modes are selected according to different illumination intensities and magnifications, and the focusing process comprises the step of rapid search of the near-focus area and the step of self-adaptive climbing. The focusing speed and accuracy and the image visual effect in the focusing process are greatly improved.

Mutual compatibility is established between the measurement with a high magnification and the measurement in a wide region. A pattern measurement apparatus is proposed which adds identification information to each of fragments that constitute a pattern within an image obtained by the SEM, and which stores the identification information in a predetermined storage format. Here, the identification information is added to each fragment for distinguishing between one fragment and another fragment. According to the above-described configuration, it turns out that the identification information is added to each fragment on the SEM image which has possessed no specific identification information originally. As a result, it becomes possible to implement the SEM-image management based on the identification information.
