Digital Histology & Whole Slide Scanning Services
Unlock the full potential of your tissue data with advanced digital histology.
iHisto offers premium glass slide digitization services, transforming physical slides into high-resolution Whole Slide Images (WSI). As a trusted outsource slide scanning provider, we support preclinical research and clinical studies with cost-effective, diagnostic-grade histology scanning.
What Is Digital Histology?
Digital histology is the process of digitizing stained tissue slides using whole slide imaging (WSI) technology. This enables remote access, scalable image analysis, and long-term archival of pathology data. iHisto uses state-of-the-art slide scanners to produce crisp 20x and 40x images compatible with most digital pathology platforms.
