Iranian Firm Produces Slide Scanner with Telepathology Capability
This product has telepathology capabilities and doctors can view and diagnose slides from anywhere in the world where the device is present. It is also possible to consult with other doctors and archive slides. Previously, slides were physically archived.
At present, countries like the US, Germany, and China have made this product, but there was no Iranian model. The celular device was not reverse engineered, but was designed and produced completely indigenously.
This device is used by pathology laboratories and universities, and so far nearly 50 devices have been sold to centers like the University of Iran, the University of Tehran, and some pathology laboratories in Tehran.
A Microscope Slide Scanner, also known as Digital Pathology Scanner or Digital Histology Slide Scanner, produces quick, reliable and high-resolution images of a glass slide. Pathologists, histologists, biologists, hematologists, vet experts or medical professionals now have the ability to scan single or often multiple slides. They can upload these images onto a network, iCloud store for remote access and collaboration among colleagues immediately or within a few minutes. Features may include remote control, real-time viewing, sharing, commenting, measurements, expert notes, reports, and many advanced software integration.
A Digital Pathology Scanning System may provide automated tissue slide imaging, counting and measurement for both fixed or live-cell assays. A microscopy system for slide scanning have modes for fluorescence, phase-contrast, polarizing and darkfield imaging. All slide scanners work for a standard size 1″x3″ (25x75mm) and some for double size 2″x3″ (50mm x75mm), either glass or plastic slides with/without coverslips.
