<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To resolve difficulties in processing biological specimens in which a pathologist repeats an examination process following iterations of additional tests and procedures, and may then work further in an iterative fashion until an ultimate finding is reached, which requires numerous transport and human interventions even with automated instruments in these processes. <P>SOLUTION: An apparatus includes: at least one of a stainer module 210 and a coverslipper module 220; an imaging module 230; a storage module 202; an automated transport module 302 for transporting at least one slide 424 between at least one of the stainer module 210 and the coverslipper module 220, the imaging module 230 and the storage module 202; and a controller 400. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
