Abstract
A suite of tests and parameter monitoring methods for at least five major subsystems that are found in most automated image processing systems, as well as calibration routines for three major system functions. The five areas of subsystem verification include processing quality, illumination quality, image collection quality, autofocus quality, and position quality. An automated biological specimen analysis system uses self measures of system parameters to provide a system status. The system status is reported to the user.
