Context-based focus control of a microscope

A device, comprising:

• an input component;
• and
• a focus control component configured to:
• receive, from the input component, an input associated with adjusting a focus of a field of view of the device;
• determine whether an area of interest is present in the field of view;
• and
• adjust, based on determining that the area of interest is not present in the field of view, the focus of the field of view based on at least one of a focus speed associated with the input or a focus acceleration associated with the input;
• or
• based on determining that the area of interest is present in the field of view:
• determine one or more parameters for modifying at least one of the focus speed or the focus acceleration,
• wherein the focus control component, when determining the one or more parameters for modifying at least one of the focus speed or the focus acceleration, is to:
• determine whether the focus acceleration associated with the input satisfies a threshold focus acceleration;
• and
• determine to modify the focus acceleration by reducing the focus acceleration to the threshold focus acceleration,
• modify at least one of the focus speed or the focus acceleration based on the one or more parameters, and
• adjust the focus of the field of view based on at least one of the modified focus speed or the modified focus acceleration.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive an input associated with adjusting a focus of a field of view of the device;
• determine whether an area of interest is present in the field of view;
• and
• adjust, based on determining that the area of interest is not present in the field of view, the focus of the field of view at a focus acceleration associated with the input;
• or
• based on determining that the area of interest is present in the field of view:
• determine one or more parameters for modifying the focus acceleration,
• wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to determine the one or more parameters for modifying the focus acceleration, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine whether the focus acceleration associated with the input satisfies a threshold focus acceleration;
• and
• determine to modify the focus acceleration by reducing the focus acceleration to the threshold focus acceleration,
• modify the focus acceleration based on the one or more parameters, and
• adjust the focus of the field of view at the modified focus acceleration.
