Abstract
A method for performing microscopy-based imaging of samples includes: loading a sample holder onto a support configured to receive the sample holder; moving the sample holder in a first direction, from a starting position on a first strip of the sample holder, to move the sample holder relative to an imaging line of a line camera, to capture an image of the first strip of the sample holder; monitoring a focal plane using an autofocus system as the sample holder is moved in the first direction; in response to a determination by the autofocus system, moving an objective lens along an optical axis to adjust the focal plane; and moving the sample holder in a second direction, to align the imaging line of the line camera with a position on a second strip of the sample holder.
