Leica Microsystems has released the Slidepath Gateway digital pathology viewing application with built-in educational content for Ipad and Iphone.
The application is available to download free from the Apple App Store.
Slidepath Gateway provides access to high-quality whole slide images captured on the Leica SCN400 slide scanner, with expert review findings and content provided by contributing bodies including: ASCP Checkpath Anatomical Pathology EQA Programme (2006); Cerviva Cervical Cytology EQA Pilot (2009); NHS Breast Screening Pathology EQA Programme (2010); UK National Urologic Pathology EQA Programme (2009); and UKNEQAS HER2 Breast Interpretive EQA Pilo (2011).
Users who install the application can browse folders of images from each of the External Quality Assessment (EQA) programmes, select individual cases and view, zoom and navigate around the slides.
Each case includes expert pathologist assessments, which can be viewed with the slides, giving increased insight into the samples.
They can also see a sample set of Leica Biosystems' Novocastra antibody range.
