ABSTRACT:
In a microscopic screening apparatus a calibration slide is mounted on a stage of a microscope, and a microscope positioning system is calibrated by reading and storing in memory the location of at least one fiducial marking that is on the calibration slide using a microscope-dependent coordinate system. Next, a sample containing slide is mounted against the stage of the microscope. The location of at least one feature on the sample containing slide is then transformed into a microscope-independent coordinate system, and is stored in a memory. Using a second microscope, a second calibration slide is mounted against the stage of the second microscope, and the second microscope is calibrated using a second microscope-dependent coordinate system, based on the second microscope. Next, the sample containing slide is mounted against the second stage. The stored feature location is read from the memory, and transformed from the microscope-independent coordinate system to the second microscope-dependent coordinate system. The transformed feature location in the second microscope-dependent coordinate system is utilized to relocate the feature on the sample containing slide.
