Abstract
A method of generating in-focus images of measurement locations of a sample holder in a microscopy imaging system is provided. A camera array is positioned at a first distance from the sample holder. A first image of a measurement location is acquired using an imaging device disposed on the camera array. A candidate output image associated with the imaging device is developed in accordance with the first image. The camera array is positioned at a second distance from the sample holder and a second image of the measurement location is acquired using the imaging device. A portion of the candidate output image is updated in accordance with a portion of the second image in accordance with a selection criterion. The updated candidate image is transmitted.
