With cancer, second opinions from specialists are standard, and every second counts. Traditional review of these cases requires that glass slides be physically mailed to a specialist, which not only takes precious time, but limits the choice of specialist to a geographic area.
Live telemicroscopy allows instantaneous review by any number of specialists and sub-specialists, regardless of their location. With remote examination through live telemicroscopy, the right specialist for the case can be reached—in real time—providing the patient with the best opinion available and reducing their wait and worry.
Another benefit of these real-time collaborative examinations is the educational experience provided by the sub-specialty expert who reads the slide in the virtual presence of the referring pathologist.
We provide the L5 and L5-20 systems, Class I, remote robotic microscopes dedicated to telemicroscopy. Our SL5 system is dual-mode, and includes the robotic microscope of the L5 for live telemicroscopy applications and a whole-slide scanner for digital pathology research-only applications.
Live telemicroscopy distributes your pathology expertise across the hall, across town and across the world. Affordable, portable and simple to use solutions from Mikroscan help confirm adequate biopsies on the first pass, let you consult remotely in real-time, reduce travel, avoid unnecessary and expensive repeat procedures, and improve your practice bottom line.
Mikroscan allows me to instantly view frozen sections from anywhere. It isn’t necessary to travel to the hospital to evaluate a specimen; I can do it real time from my office, or wherever I happen to be.
