Systems for automated tissue sample processing and imaging
Abstract:
Systems for enabling automated electronic processing of tissue samples are provided. A tissue sample intake mechanism receives a tissue sample that is to be processed, and a cutting mechanism cuts the tissue sample to produce a plurality of sections of the tissue sample. Further, a transporting mechanism causes the tissue sections to be moved from a first location to a second location without user intervention. One or more image capturing devices that capture electronic images of the each of the plurality of sections of the tissue sample are also provided in the system. Additionally, a three-dimensional representation engine is provided for generating a three-dimensional representation of the tissue sample. The three-dimensional representation enables viewing of the electronic images associated with the each of the plurality of sections of the tissue sample.
