Hello, I operate a highly specialized histology lab and have clients nationwide. I am looking for an inexpensive way to scan whole slides for telepathology. Any suggestions or what are you using?

There are couple of Ideas
One which is used in educational institutes is a CCD that is connected to a microscope and with a use of a capturing devise and a computer the image can be digitized and send as a jpeg, gif. etc.

Thanks!

I already have digital cameras attached to my microscopes.

I find very little time anymore to sit at the scope and take individual fields, save the pics, name the pics, adjust brightness, etc. & email the pics. Although I did recently setup a Picasa account. I am looking for a way to scan the whole slide for the PI to view remotely.

MMMM.
I dont know about other way. i guess there is some other option. If not this is the time for us to think about something.

we use a imaging system from Hamamatzu. That allows us to look at our slides via a server at our own computers. Maybe not the cheepest one, but it's nice.
