Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Microscope slide scanner. In an embodiment the microscope slide scanner comprises a single enclosure unit that includes at least one objective lens, at least one line scan camera, at least one communication port, and at least one processor. The line scan camera may be configured to capture image data of a sample as a plurality of image stripes via the objective lens. The communication port provides communication over a network. The processor may align the plurality of image stripes into a contiguous image of at least a portion of the sample, and executes a web server that provides an operator interface over the network to one or more remote devices.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A microscope slide scanner comprising: a stage configured to support a microscope slide; an objective lens positioned to view a portion of the microscope slide; a line scan camera optically coupled with the objective lens, the line scan camera configured to create a digital image strip of a portion of the microscope slide; a processor configured to align adjacent digital image strips into a contiguous digital image; and a data storage area configured to store the contiguous digital image.
