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.
