Millisecond autofocusing microscopy using neuromorphic event sensing
Optics and Lasers in Engineering(2023)
摘要
Rapid autofocusing is essential for many microscopic imaging applications. Existing methods either require complicated hardware implementations or slow z-stack image acquisition. In this work, we develop a new approach to achieve fast autofocusing using the neuromorphic event sensing technology, which detects the sparse brightness changes asynchronously and responds quickly to the specimen movement. A simple yet efficient autofocusing system is tailored for fast acquisition and processing of the non-redundant event data, allowing for autofocusing in only tens of milliseconds, which is thousands of times faster than current technologies. Experimental results show a substantial performance improvement and capability for biopsy specimen inspections. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported work on a neuromorphic methodology for autofocusing microscopy.
