| 20100308205 | METHOD FOR AUTO FOCUS SEARCHING OF OPTICAL MICROSCOPE - A method for auto focus searching of optical microscopes is revealed. At first, sample a plurality of image signals according to a plurality of sampling positions. Then process the plurality of image signals to get a plurality of energy values. Next calculate a plurality of sharpness values of adjacent energy values and also calculate an absolute value corresponding to the sharpness value. Later check and find out a maximum value of the absolute values to get a sampling position corresponding to the image with the maximum value and use that position as the optimal focus position of the optical microscopes.
