Drawn
by the lure of ‘more megapixels for less’,
some clinical pathology or anatomic pathology labs will purchase
the common consumer brands of digital cameras for placement
on the microscope. But consider some factors on the pages
below that will have ramifications for pathology applications:
Workflow & Support

Camera Issues
Summary:
The goal is workflow efficiency in a scientific grade
product
PAXcam digital cameras are made for microscopy, with
a streamlined workflow that is geared for high throughput
in an easy to use interface. Consumer cameras may be attractive
due to their perceived low cost, but the gains in productivity
by having PAXcam hardware integrated with PAXit software
to manage the workflow cannot be underestimated. In addition,
the PAXcam yields increases in image quality due to the
quality control process being geared for scientific imaging
on the microscope or macro stand.
