Abstract

A method of mapping areas of a slide includes the steps of selectively illuminating the slide from a first light source oriented generally obliquely to the surface of the slide, obtaining a first image of the slide illuminated by the first light source, selectively illuminated the slide from a second light source providing generally scattered light, obtaining an image of said second image illuminated by the second light source, and generating a map of areas of significance based on the first and second images.
