Abstract

See full text

An imaging system (100) is capable of detecting of tissue situated on a microscope slide (180). The imaging system (100) includes a light source (150), an image capturing device (160) including a camera, and an imaging lens (170). The light source (150) directs light (154) towards one or more of the edges of the slide (180) such that the light (154) undergoes total internal reflection between a surface of the slide (180) and a coverslip (182) carried by the slide (180). The light (154) has a wavelength or waveband designed to stimulate one or more specimens carried on the slide (180). The imaging lens (170) is positioned to direct radiation emitted from the tissue and/or fluorophore onto the camera. The image capturing device (160) can capture an image of the whole slide (180) or a portion thereof.
