Digital Histology & Pathology Services
At iHisto, we provide advanced digital histology and digital pathology services to accelerate discovery and improve decision-making in research and clinical settings. Our fast digital pathology scanning solutions deliver high-resolution whole slide images, ready for review, analysis, and sharing.
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.
