High-Magnification Microscopic Image Autofocus Database

This repository contains high-magnification microscopic images, autofocus evaluation data, focus measure results, and lens positioning information developed for automated microscopic image acquisition and autofocus research. Repository Contents The repository contains the results generated for each autofocus operation and autofocus method, including: 1. Final Focused Images Automatically focused high-magnification microscopic images. Final focused image results may differ depending on the autofocus method employed. 2. Lens Position and Focus Function Data Contains: evolution of the microscope lens z-position, focus function (FF) values, stepper motor displacement information during autofocus operation. These data may be used to analyse: focus convergence, autofocus precision, search efficiency, focus measure performance. The images provided in this dataset were generated in: TELLO-MIJARES, Santiago, et al.Efficient Autofocus Method for Sequential Automatic Capturing of High-Magnification Microscopic Images.Chinese Optics Letters, 2013, Vol. 11, No. 12, pp. 121102–121102.
