dotSlide - digital virtual microscope
dotSlide is an imaging system for 'virtual microscopy' the later being the digital equivalent to conventional light microscopy. Instead of viewing a specimen through the eyepiece of the microscope, a virtual overview image of the entire slide is displayed in perfect quality on the monitor after the system has scanned the specimen at the required resolution. Integrated focus routines make sure the image is always in sharp focus. The single images initially acquired during the scanning process are automatically stitched together to form a large seamless overview image (the 'virtual slide'). This digital virtual microscopy image can be saved in a web-based database and is accessible for online conferencing, e.g. in pathology or histology.
