Abstract
A histology system includes a microtome configured to produce a tissue section from a tissue block, where the tissue section includes a tissue sample, a transfer system including a transfer medium to transfer the tissue section to a slide, and a vision system. The vision system includes an illumination system configured to illuminate the tissue section on the transfer medium and an imaging system configured to create imaging data of the tissue section on the transfer medium illuminated by the illumination system. The histology system further includes a processor to receive the imaging data and perform one or more quality control analysis based on the imaging data, where the one or more analysis includes a comparative analysis of the tissue section on the transfer medium with at least one of the tissue section on the tissue block or the tissue section on the slide.
