Abstract

Aspects of present disclosure relate to slide imaging. An exemplary apparatus for real time image generation includes at least an optical system, a slide port configured to hold a slide, an actuator mechanism mechanically connected to a mobile element, a user interface comprising an input interface and an output interface, at least processor configured to: receive at least a region of interest; capture, using the at least an optical system, a first image of the slide at a first position within the at least a region of interest; identify a focus pattern as a function of the first image and the first position; extrapolate a focus distance for a second position as a function of the focus pattern; and capture, using the at least an optical system, a second image of the slide at a second position and at the focus distance.
