Benefits of Automated Microscopes

 Microscopy has evolved significantly with time. Digital microscopes and automated microscopes are the latest forms that have revolutionized microscopy while offering several benefits. Convenience is one of the most vital benefits that automated microscopes offer. But primarily, it is the enhanced functional value that they offer that matters more than everything else. Here’s more to it.

• Data Acquisition

Acquiring data in real time is a challenge with manual microscopes. It is because pathologists either would require help or wait until the slide examination is over to acquire the required data. But automated or digital microscopes allow them to fetch data in real-time and in a format that enables quicker interpretation and decision-making.

• Real-Time Analysis

Automated microscopes enable AI-based analysis. It helps reduce manual analytical errors and fosters more accurate and data-driven evaluation. While AI based software cannot replace the expertise of a skilled pathologist, they can go a long way in assisting them, and reducing the time taken for diagnosis by highlighting potential areas of significance or performing repetitive tasks such as cell counting. The combination of technology and human expertise can minimize the error rate significantly.

• Instant Archival

With digital or automated microscopes at the user’s disposal, they can instantly archive data stored virtually on the cloud. Users can access documents without scanning through physical records, thus saving a lot of time and effort. While expediting decision-making, cloud-based quicker and simpler document access helps keep records, observations, analysis, etc., secure.
