Systems and methods for sample image capture using integrated control

An imaging system, comprising:

• a chamber having a set of environmental settings, the set of environmental settings comprising at least one of:
• a temperature of the chamber, a humidity of the chamber, a pressure of the chamber, or a concentration of gas within the chamber;
• an imaging device for imaging a sample within the chamber, the imaging device having a set of imaging parameters, the set of imaging parameters comprising at least one of:
• a magnification setting, a focal length setting, a resolution setting, an illumination setting, a monochrome setting, a color setting, a fluorescent stain setting, a transparency setting, or a phase setting;
• a system controller operatively connected to the chamber and the imaging device and configured to individually and simultaneously change one or more of the set of environmental settings or the set of imaging parameters.

An imaging system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer readable media that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the imaging system to:
• initiate a system controller operatively connected to a chamber and to an imaging device;
• receive, at the system controller, a set of initial environmental settings for the chamber, the set of initial environmental settings comprising at least one of a temperature of the chamber, a humidity of the chamber, a pressure of the chamber, or a concentration of gas within the chamber;
• receive, at the system controller, a set of initial imaging parameters for operating the imaging device, the set of initial imaging parameters comprising at least one of a magnification setting, a focal length setting, a resolution setting, an illumination setting, a monochrome setting, a color setting, a fluorescent stain setting, a transparency setting, or a phase setting;
• initiate, sequentially or simultaneously via the system controller, the set of initial environmental settings at the chamber and the set of initial imaging parameters to operate the imaging device;
• receive, at the system controller, a triggering event and at least one of a set of changed environmental settings or a set of changed imaging parameters;
• and
• in response to the triggering event, dynamically update the set of initial environmental settings to the set of changed environmental settings or the set of initial imaging parameters to the set of changed imaging parameters,
• wherein the set of changed environmental settings comprises at least one of a changed temperature of the chamber, a changed humidity of the chamber, a changed pressure of the chamber, or a changed concentration of gas within the chamber, and
• wherein the set of changed imaging parameters comprises at least one of a changed magnification setting, a changed focal length setting, a changed resolution setting, a changed illumination setting, a changed monochrome setting, a changed color setting, a changed fluorescent stain setting, a changed transparency setting, or a changed phase setting.

A method, comprising:

• invoking a system controller operatively connected to a chamber and an imaging device;
• initiating, via the system controller, a set of initial environmental settings associated with physical conditions of the chamber;
• initiating, via the system controller, a set of initial imaging parameters associated with operation of the imaging device;
• initiating, via the system controller, an image capture event for a sample in the chamber;
• in response to executing the image capture event, dynamically updating the set of initial environmental settings to a set of changed environmental settings or the set of initial imaging parameters to a set of changed imaging parameters;
• and
• capturing media from the image capture event, via the imaging device.
