Systems and methods for imaging samples

Abstract

An imaging system includes an optical mounting plate having an aperture disposed between a first portion and a second portion, an imaging sensor disposed on the first portion, an objective lens disposed on the second portion, and an illumination assembly arranged within the aperture and disposed between the imaging sensor and the objective lens. The imaging system includes a heat sink coupled to the illumination assembly and configured to transfer heat away from light sources of the illumination assembly via a working fluid that flows through the heat sink.
