Abstract
A method for generating at least one marker for a microscope sample includes applying a liquid cover to a microscopic sample to obtain a processed microscopic sample, where the liquid cover improves visualization of the microscopic sample. The at least one marker is generated for a part of the processed microscopic sample using an imaging system. At least a part of the liquid cover is removed, using a liquid removing agent, from the processed microscopic sample, after generating the at least one marker, to obtain an uncovered microscopic sample having the at least one marker.
Claims20
A method for generating at least one marker for a microscope sample comprising:
- applying a liquid cover to a microscopic sample to obtain a processed microscopic sample, wherein the liquid cover is configured to improve visualization of the microscopic sample;
- generating the at least one marker for a part of the processed microscopic sample using an imaging system;
- and
- after generating the at least one marker, removing, using a liquid removing agent, at least a part of the liquid cover from the processed microscopic sample to obtain an uncovered microscopic sample having the at least one marker.
A microscope comprising;
- a controller;
- an imaging system;
- and
- a pipe and/or a removal apparatus,
- wherein the controller is configured to operate the pipe and/or the removal apparatus and the imaging system so as to perform the following steps:
- applying a liquid cover to a microscopic sample to obtain a processed microscopic sample, wherein the liquid cover is configured to improve visualization of the microscopic sample;
- generating at least one marker for a part of the processed microscopic sample;
- and
- after generating the at least one marker, removing, using a liquid removing agent, at least a part of the liquid cover from the processed microscopic sample to obtain an uncovered microscopic sample having the at least one marker.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed by one or more hardware processors of a microscope controller, provide instructions for performance of a method for generating at least one marker for a microscope sample, the method comprising:
- applying a liquid cover to a microscopic sample to obtain a processed microscopic sample, wherein the liquid cover is configured to improve visualization of the microscopic sample;
- generating the at least one marker for a part of the processed microscopic sample using an imaging system;
- and
- after generating the at least one marker, removing, using a liquid removing agent, at least a part of the liquid cover from the processed microscopic sample to obtain an uncovered microscopic sample having the at least one marker.
