Details:
=====================

Because the size of histology and pathology specimens generally exceed the
field of view of the microscope, clinicians and researchers are often
confronted with making a tradeoff between field-of-view (low magnification)
and ability to resolve small image details (high magnification). In either case,
the relationship between microscopic features and overall structure is lost. A
powerful new method, however, allows rapid and easy scanning of entire
specimens under high magnification. Automatic assembly ('stitching') of the
scanned images into an individual continuous image provides the ability to
survey the overall structure, while preserving the very high-resolution
information. At this interactive webinar, attendees will see how such a system
operates and will be shown some of the many ways images can be explored,
measured, presented, and archived.
Subjects include:
• Configuring a microscope to perform rapid scanning and tiling
• User options and their implications on acquired image data
• Image processing for enhancing image quality
• Exploration, analysis, and annotation of images
• Archival and databasing of images

Bring your questions to this live, interactive web-based seminar.

Provided free of charge, this webinar is sponsored by MAG, the Microimaging
Applications Group. MAG is a group of imaging companies who work together
to provide an unparalleled range of microimaging solutions to science and
industry.
