Episode 13 - Meet Your New Microscope?
This episode's guests: Dr. Jacob Abel
This episode we are talking with Jacob Abel of University of Michigan whose primary interest is the selection, assessment, and calibration of displays (monitors) in digital pathology.
As we move toward full scale adoption of digital pathology, it has been said that the computer monitor is going to replace the microscope. If true, that could make the display or monitor one of the most important pieces of equipment. This episode of Digital Pathology Today™ we will focus on monitors and displays, the different levels and grades (consumer vs. medical), how displays are evaluated, the pixel pathway, and the FDA role.
