Study Notes
Digital Slides and Whole Slide Imaging
- Digital slides (DS) transform traditional glass slides and microscopy.
- Utilizes Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) systems for digitization.
- WSI systems can scan 100 to 300 slides with varying speeds and Z-scan capabilities.
- Only requires a computer with internet access, eliminating the necessity for multiple microscopes.
Advantages of Digital Slides
- Multiple users can simultaneously access and view the same slides.
- Allows side-by-side viewing of different slides on one screen for lesion comparison.
- Facilitates enhanced interaction between students and instructors, as both parties view identical images.
- Reduces the need for multiple microscopes and associated maintenance.
- Digital slides do not fade or suffer physical damage, ensuring longevity.
- Minimizes the requirement for physical slide collection, streamlining resources.
Disadvantages of Digital Slides
- High initial investment required for equipment acquisition.
- Demands substantial storage capacity for digital slide data.
- Users may face a learning curve due to lack of familiarity with interpreting digital slides.
