ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to reverse focusing and methods and systems which employ reverse focusing. In a particular example, an automated focusing microscope uses one or more reverse focusing steps to acquire a focused image. Computer programs having instructions for instructing a computer to acquire a focused image by reverse focusing are also included.
