Objeetive：A fast wide-field auto-optical sectioning microscopic system is described. The system uses accurate step-motor, digital camera and a wide-field microscope, is able to perform high speed optical sectioning on wide-field micro- scope. Methods：In order to enhance the optical slice imaging speed of wide-field microscopic and get accurately the imaging information on different focal plane ,the system Can self-regulate the z-axial motion of the objective lens, and synchronically control the fluorescence excitation light exposure and image capturing sub-system, it is also able to obtain accurate, uniform thin sectioning slices on one hand, and on the other hand it can reduce the fluorescent bleaching. Results： The auto-control system for the Z-axis motion of the microscope objective, which can be controlled by a computer using the connect of serial port and produce PWM wave by the microcontroller to accurately control a 5-phase step motor, and can also accurately fulfill auto control for the Z-axis motion of the microscope objective to as precise as 2nm ; The computer-controlled electronic shut- ter switch system which is used to control the excited light exposure of fluorescence to reduce the fluorescent bleaching ; The system of auto digital imaging which is controlled by computer and the corresponding software system is based on windows and controls the microcontroller using the MSComm. Its functions is to saving the image, setting the mode, adjusting the ISO value, adjusting the focus and so on. Conclusions： The system can help to obtain more reliable and rich imaging information, it is expected to be extensively applied to the fields that require three-dimensional sectioning observation, such as biomedical material and medical imaging.
