Research abstract
Our goal is to produce an economical stage control system that reduces the labor-intensity ofclinical microscopic testing (i.e., cytology, histology and cytogenetics). We will develop a new meansto optically detect position during microscopic examination. Optical positioning integrated withmechanical control will be used to produce a microscopic stage control system. This system willimprove microscopic tests by decreasing the cost per test and the error of specimen handling. Thesystem will be evaluated with cervical and bladder samples. Cost-effective microscopic stage controlhas multiple applications in clinical areas that use microscopic evaluation of tissue or cells.
