METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING A VIRTUAL MICROSCOPE SLIDE

摘要

A virtual microscope slide is created by using a computer-controlled microscope (10) to capture a plurality of low magnification images of a specimen which are tiled to create a reconstructed macro image (24). A plurality of higher magnification images are also captured and tiled to create a micro image (26). The macro (26) and micro (24) images are then stored, along with their mapping coordinates for later, interactive viewing.
