BioImagene,
Inc., the leading provider of end-to-end digital
pathology solutions, today announced the availability of the iSlide™
input device, an innovative device that allows pathologists to use a
microscope-like interface to manipulate digital images of slides.
“BioImagene’s tradition of innovation leads us to develop unique tools
to help pathologists more rapidly adapt to the digital pathology
experience”
iSlide mimics a microscope stage. Pathologists using the iSlide can move
a glass slide, just the way they would on a microscope stage, to
ergonomically view digital
images of slides on a computer monitor. The iSlide is designed to
provide a superior alternative to using a conventional mouse, to
navigate digital images of slides.
Dr.
Robert Monroe, M.D., Ph.D. Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of BioImagene
explained, “The iSlide is a more efficient way to navigate through
virtual slides. The device allows me to use the same motor skills that I
would use on a microscope and the viewing experience is more intuitive
than if I used a conventional mouse. Additionally, the compact design
makes it easy to navigate images and type a report at the same time.”
