METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING REGIONS OF INTEREST FOR OBJECTS COMPRISING BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL

摘要

A method and apparatus are disclosed for processing regions of interest for objects comprising biological material. A region of interest can be denoted for a physical object and information indicating the region of interest can be stored in a computer-readable medium for later retrieval. Subsequently, when the object is retrieved, the information indicating the region of interest can be used to generate information specifying a physical location within the region of interest. An operation can then be performed on the physical location within the region of interest. Reference points within the object can assist in regeneration of the region of interest, and the reference points can be arranged in such a fashion that processing can take rotation of the object into account. The invention includes various features advantageous for constructing tissue microarrays.
