Description

Novel pathological section scanner
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to a novel pathological section scanner.
Background
Pathological examination is a pathomorphological method for examining pathological changes in organs, tissues or cells of the body. In order to study the disease process of organs, tissues or cells, some kind of pathological morphological examination method can be used to examine the pathological changes of them, study the cause, pathogenesis and the process of pathological changes, and finally make pathological diagnosis. The pathological morphological examination method is that the pathological change of the general specimen is observed, then the pathological tissue with certain size is cut out, the pathological section is made by the pathological histological method, and the pathological change is further examined by a microscope.
The digital section system can rapidly scan the whole glass slide in a full-information and all-round way, so that the traditional materialized glass slide becomes a new generation of digital pathological section, and the digital section system is an epoch-making revolution for realizing pathological diagnosis technology. The system can separate a pathologist from a microscope, solve pathological diagnosis through a network at any time and any place, realize global online synchronous remote consultation or offline remote consultation, and has great significance for time and space alternation and transmission advantages of diagnosis value equal to that of microscope observation due to the fact that full-section information is provided. And multilayer three-dimensional reconstruction of pathological sections and management digitization of the pathological sections are also realized. The system can be widely used for pathological clinical diagnosis, pathological teaching, histological cell imaging, fluorescence analysis and immunohistochemical digital imaging. The glass slice is scanned into a digital slice, so that the storage and the circulation are convenient; just like scanning the common developed photo into a digital photo, the photo can be read and examined on a computer without singly observing the photo by using a microscope.
The existing digital pathological section scanner is internally provided with a section scanning part and a section replacing part, but the existing digital pathological section scanner basically adopts a mode of controlling the scanner to work by a computer, so that the following defects are caused: 1. when the worker finishes loading the slices at the scanner end, the worker needs to go to the computer to operate and know the working state of the scanner, and if the worker operates for multiple times, the worker needs to go back and forth between the scanner and the computer for multiple times, so that the time of the worker is wasted, and the working efficiency is also reduced. 2. The working state of the scanner cannot be known in real time, and if the working state of the scanner needs to be known, the scanner needs to be checked in front of a computer. 3. Because the loading and the scanning are carried out on the two machines, the workers cannot directly operate at the scanner after loading. Meanwhile, the section is made of glass and has the characteristics of fragility, smoothness and thinness, so that the section is difficult to take and place safely, and the flatness of the section is easy to influence when the section is arranged in a section replacement part.
