Abstract

A method for forming an image of a sample mounted on a slide includes: forming, using an imaging system, a first image of a first swathe of a plurality of swathes, the first swathe being positionally constrained within an aperture in a movable stage configured to move along first and second slide movement axes relative to the imaging system; using a copy holder moving system to move the movable stage, wherein the copy holder includes: a plurality of apertures each configured to hold a respective slide; an indexing arm for holding the copy holder; and an indexing motor configured to move the indexing arm along an indexing axis that is nonparallel with respect to both the first and second slide movement axes; and forming, using the imaging system, a second image of a second swathe of the plurality of swathes.
