Traditional pathology is practiced utilizing a microscope for examination of glass slides containing tissue samples. Being able to see only a minuscule portion of the entire coverslip through the microscope, the pathologist must search for any area of interest by perusing the slide at a low magnification. Although it is easy to switch to a higher magnification as desired, one of the difficulties arises when attempting to return to a ...
The research reported here involves upgrading the technology of the two telepathology workstations (TSS) previously built under this grant and the design and fabrication of the more compact PC Microscope (PCM). The TSS are being retrofitted to incorporate a diode array with a seven micrometer spacing. Enhancements have been made to the system software to simplify the user interface. The Luke Mayo 1996 Telepathology Study concluded that the TSS does ...
