Since the 1980s, telepathology has been providing an efficient and effective means to review patient samples by a remote pathologist. Although considered to be an antiquated technique by some, microscope-based telepathology still affords healthcare institutions and pathologists a list of benefits (and features) that are still unmatched by many whole slide imaging technologies.
With a microscope-based telepathology system, you can…
- Review glass slides on-site or remotely.
- Invite one or more specialists for live, simultaneous remote viewing and consultation.
- Use the full optical resolution of multiple objectives.
- Freely adjust focus on the fly through thick and thin samples.
- Review slides immediately without interrupting a scan or adding slides to a queue for scanning.
- Review wet mounts, frozen sections, FNAs.
- Use other contrast methods than histological staining (i.e., polarization, darkfield).
- Use 1” x 3” and 2” x 3” slides.
- Use oil immersion.
- Use the microscope as a conventional stand-alone microscope.
