Abstract
An image scanning system for tissue slides comprises a microscope, an image capture element, a splitter module and a shading module, wherein the microscope is used for carrying a plurality of tissue slides. The light pass through each of the tissue slides is able to enter the splitter module selectively by the shading module, and the light is guided into the image capture element via a plurality of splitters of the splitter module to make each of the tissue slides be imaged on the image capture element respectively for image scanning.
Claims20
An image scanning system for tissue slides comprising:
- a microscope including a light source, a stage and a plurality of objective lenses, wherein the light source provides light, the stage is located between the light source and the objective lenses and used for carrying a plurality of tissue slides which have a scanning region respectively, and wherein each of the tissue slides corresponds to one of the objective lenses;
- an image capture element configured on the microscope, wherein the scanning region of each of the tissue slides is imaged on the image capture element respectively, and the image capture element is used for capturing an image of each of the scanning regions;
- a splitter module located between the objective lenses and the image capture element, the light into the splitter module via each of the objective lenses, wherein the splitter module includes a plurality of first splitters, each of the first splitters corresponds to one of the objective lenses, and each of the first splitters is used for guiding the light into the image capture element;
- and
- a shading module including a plurality of covers which are located between the objective lenses and the splitter module, wherein each of the covers is able to selectively block the light into the splitter module via each of the objective lenses to make the light into the splitter module via one of the objective lenses.
