Patent

CA 2562298

Apparatus and methods are provided which allow the rapid collection of image data in situations where ancillary equipment must be controlled and co- ordinated as part of an image formation process, such as confocal microscopy for example. The apparatus includes control means (20') for co-ordinating the operation of the apparatus, and operable to receive a first trigger signal (33, 33', 37) indicating the ccompletion of an operation from one component and transmit a second trigger signal (27, 27') to start an operation by another component in response to the first trigger signal. Such a configuration is operate to reduce delays encountered in operation of the apparatus.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés permettant la collecte rapide de données d'image dans des situations où il faut impérativement contrôler et coordonner de l'équipement auxiliaire au titre d'un processus de formation d'image, du type microscopie confocale. On décrit un dispositif, qui comprend un système de contrôle (20') permettant d'en coordonner le fonctionnement, et pouvant recevoir un premier signal de déclenchement (33, 33', 37) qui indique l'achèvement d'une opération depuis un élément, puis transmettre un deuxième signal de déclenchement (27, 27') visant à lancer une opération au niveau d'un autre élément en réponse au premier signal. Cette configuration permet de réduire les retards inhérents au fonctionnement du dispositif.
