A system for generating a digital pathology image from an optical. The system includes a first mount that is connectable to the eyepiece or photo tube, and is configured to support a digital image capture device so as to capture digital images of the specimen as viewed through the eyepiece or photo tube; a powered drive system that includes two or more electric actuators that, in use of the system, are each operable to cause the specimen slide to move in one of two orthogonal directions beneath the objective; and a controller in communication with the powered drive system, the controller being configured to receive an input representative of an instruction to move the specimen slide and, in response to that input, direct the powered drive system to move the specimen slide. Co-ordinated operation of the image capture device and provision of inputs to the controller enables capture of a series of overlapping digital images from which to generate the digital pathology image of the specimen. |
