Currently available whole slide scanners are 2D bright field scanners; envisioned follow-up scanners would broaden to 3D bright field imaging for improved autofocus operation and to 3D fluorescence imaging. Philips and the Quantitative Imaging group at TU Delft are starting a joint project to investigate and develop 3D imaging for digital pathology in the framework of the “Cyttron 2” research consortium. The project entails designing, building, and testing a lab setup for novel 3D and fluorescence slide scanning principles, as well as processing and analysing huge image data files. Guiding principles throughout the project will be translating application needs and practical boundary conditions into technical requirements and bringing inventive technology towards practical application.
