A slide imaging apparatus includes: at least one imaging device configured to generate an image of a sample mounted on a slide, wherein the imaging device comprises an operating button; a storage device loadable with a plurality of slides and configured to store the slides; and a supply device configured to supply the slides from the storage device to the imaging device, wherein the supply device is configured to press the operating button.

Slide imaging apparatus including a robotic arm and a method for imaging a slide

A slide carrier includes: a base support; and a slide platform having a surface that is parallel to a first plane defined by a first vector and a second vector, wherein a vector extending in a direction opposite to the direction of gravity is normal with respect to a second plane defined by a third vector and a fourth vector, an angle between the first vector and the third vector is greater than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees, and an angle between the second vector and the fourth vector is greater than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees.

Pathology slide automation system and method

A gripper system includes: a first gripper finger having a first groove, a second groove, and a third groove; and a second gripper finger having a first groove, a second groove, and a third groove, wherein the gripper is configured to apply a first compression force against length edges of a slide in a widthwise direction at the first grooves, the gripper is configured to apply a second compression force against width edges of the slide in a lengthwise direction at the second grooves, the gripper is configured to apply a third compression force against width edges of the slide in a lengthwise direction at the third grooves, and the third compression force against the width edges of the slide in the lengthwise direction is an orientation in which the slide is rotated perpendicular to an orientation corresponding to a gripping position of the second grooves.
