Hardware And Software

Lest those interested in exploring the field not understand the nuts and bolts of the system, no book on digital technology is complete without some background on the available hardware and software. The field is changing rapidly, and specific examples may be already obsolete at the time this book goes to press. At the same time, we have found that certain principles have remained constant for a relatively long time now, and we believe that providing readers with some general technical background will help on the path to implementing successful digital pathology solutions.
