METHOD OF PROVIDING AN ASSEMBLED IMAGE USING A DIGITAL MICROSCOPE, DIGITAL MICROSCOPE SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM FOR PROVIDING AN ASSEMBLED IMAGE USING A DIGITAL MICROSCOPE

摘要

A method of providing an assembled image using a digital microscope (2), the digital microscope (2) having an optical system (25), an image sensor (120) having a predefined number of image pixels, and a stage (10) for holding a sample (12), the stage (10) being movable in relation to the optical system (25) and the image sensor (120), comprises receiving a user selection regarding an area of interest (74) of the sample (12), the user selection indicating the position and extension of the area of interest (74), depending on the user selection, selecting one of a full resolution mode, wherein individual images with the predefined number of image pixels are generated, and a reduced resolution mode, wherein individual images with a reduced number of image pixels, as compared to the predefined number of image pixels, are generated, moving the stage (10) with respect to the optical system (25) and the image sensor (120), and generating individual images of the area of interest (74) in accordance with the selected one of the full resolution mode and the reduced resolution mode, and combining the individual images into the assembled image, representing the area of interest (74).
