App Notes

The flexibility of digital pathology hardware and software solutions allows institutions, such as the Brussels Free University, to create bespoke solutions to meet individual biobanking needs.

Cutting-edge research is elucidating the etiology of diseases, uncovering novel biomarkers and potential therapies.

A revolution is here with 4K Microscopy, as ultra-high definition cameras provide images larger and more detailed than previously possible. Read how fast, comfortable and user-friendly on-screen operation enhances sample evaluation, supports effective collaborations and engages the audience during presentations.

Recent advancements in immuno-oncology demonstrate that the spatial distribution of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment can be used to predict survival and response to immunotherapy of certain cancers. To facilitate this analysis, we introduce new tools for the HALO platform which facilitate spatially-resolved analysis of immune markers across whole-slide tissue sections.
