Digital Pathology Slide Scanner FAQs

What is a digital pathology slide scanner?
A digital pathology slide scanner is a digital imaging device that automatically scans entire microscope slides to create high-resolution digital images. These scanners are commonly used in pathology, research, and education to digitize biological samples for easier analysis, sharing, and archiving.
What are digital pathology slide scanners used for?

Slide scanners can be used in multiple clinical and research scenarios. Common use cases include:

  • Pathology: Digitizing tissue samples for diagnosis, review, and remote consultation.
  • Clinical workflows: Streamlining lab operations with automated scanning and integration into digital pathology systems.
  • Research: Archiving and analyzing large volumes of slides in studies involving cells or tissues.
  • Education: Creating digital slide libraries for teaching and virtual microscopy.
What are the benefits of using a digital pathology slide scanner?
Digital pathology slide scanners offer fast, high-resolution digitization of entire slides, enabling easier storage, sharing, and analysis of specimens. They improve workflow efficiency in research and clinical settings by reducing the need for manual viewing of slides. Digital slides can also be used for remote consultations, image analysis, and long-term archiving without risk of sample degradation.
How does a digital pathology slide scanner work?
Glass slides are loaded into the scanner. At the push of a button, the scanner rapidly captures high-resolution images of each pathology slide. The digitized slides enable pathologists to view and analyze them on a screen rather than looking through a microscope’s oculars.
Is your digital pathology slide scanner an approved medical device?
Our digital pathology slide scanners are sold as a medical device in select countries. For a complete list of available options, click here or contact your local Evident representative.
