Creating Virtual Slides: The Principle of Digital Slide Scanners

Published: 14 January 2010

Slide scanners – as they are used since some years in modern laboratories – produce digital images of scientific slides, which have been investigated formerly by light microscopes.

The slide scanner provides the user with a digital image of the whole slide, why it also called "whole slide scanner" or "digital slide scanner". And the images produced are named "digital slides" or "virtual slides".
