Abstract
Pathology digital lab is the modern, flexible and time effective research assistant. The process of creating pathology slides contains five creation steps from the tissue samples collection till clearing and staining stage. The reservation and sharing of such slides using classical models limit the ability of pathologists to benefit from important and rare slides. The virtual lab with its digital slides conquers those limitations and adds more intelligence to research and diagnosis fields. Having the digital slides, it is easy to save, share, search, apply automatic diagnosis through pattern recognition techniques, getting alerts for new slides and much more. The target of this work is to present the virtual lab design with its functionalities by explaining the glass slides creation process and then digitalize through scanners and the digital lab platform.
