Abstract

Digital image capture, storage, searching, retrieval, processing, and manipulation are surveyed. These are detailed by describing how to select suitable digital camera, perform digital photomicrography, and process digital images. Medical applications include education, telepathology aided by automated slide scanners, computer-assisted image analysis of immunohistochemical specimens, and quality assurance and control in histopathology. Image formats and commonly encountered limitations of digital photography and photomicrography are described. Documentation includes listings of suppliers of camera-to-microscope couplers, digital still cameras, slide scanners, and image-processing software. Signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. Abbreviations of image formats are shown in Tab.2.
