Abstract

Digital pathology is based on the use of digital images of tissues for diagnosis of diseases. In the emerging clinical practice of digital pathology, images of tissue slides are acquired with a high-resolution and high-throughput automated microscope, a so called Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) system. We designed, built and characterized a modular WSI platform for conducting two- and three-dimensional brightfield microscopy, the most common modality in this field.
