Abstract

A system to obtain a high resolution image of a large tissue sample for viewing by a clinician includes a rectangular holder that receives a microscope slide and which includes a glass filter that reduces the amount of illumination of the sample without reducing the Kelvin light temperature, and a scanner that receives the holder and produces electrical signals which are fed to the hard drive of a computer where a high resolution image of the tissue sample is displayed on the monitor.
