Abstract
An imaging system and an imaging method are provided for photographing samples in a non-complete plane arrangement. With using the imaging system and the imaging method, a clear image of each point of the sample can be obtained under a high-magnification microscope lens, and the steps of fixing and embedding the sample in advance can be simplified.
Claims18
An imaging system, comprising:
- a carrier stage for carrying an object to be sampled;
- an imaging unit disposed with respect to the carrier stage;
- and
- a first controller electrically connected to the imaging unit,
- wherein the first controller is configured to move the imaging unit for multiple times in a first direction perpendicular to the carrier stage, wherein the imaging unit is moved a first distance in each movement, and
- wherein the imaging unit is configured to photograph the object after each movement to obtain a plurality of sample images.
An imaging method, which is applied to an imaging system for photographing an object to be sampled, the imaging system comprising a carrier stage, an imaging unit and a first controller, the carrier stage carrying the object to be sampled, the imaging unit disposed with respect to the carrier stage, the first controller electrically connected to the imaging unit, the imaging method comprising steps of:
- fixing the object on the carrier stage;
- moving the carrier stage to a first photographing position;
- moving the imaging unit, controlled by the first controller, for multiple times in a first direction, wherein the imaging unit is moved a first distance in each movement, and the first direction is perpendicular to the carrier stage;
- and
- the imaging unit photographing the object after each movement to obtain a plurality of sample images.
