Drop Location
. A proprietary combination of automated lighting and image recognition reliably locates
drops in 3 dimensions.
Auto Focus and Exposure
. Continuous focus algorithm is fast and reliable. Auto focus parameters
can be tuned so only the appropriate z-slices are captured. Exposure time is also automatically
adjusted to maximize image brightness.
