Trade-off between field-of-view and resolution
Microscopy is an essential technique in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The microscopes used today are powerful instruments that allow doctors and scientists to see intracellular details at up to 100X magnification – a resolution far too high to be seen with the naked eye. This information is crucial to understanding the structure […]

Challenges facing hematology laboratories today
Hematology, like many fields of medicine, is moving towards a digital transformation where data is the key to diagnostic insights and building an effective plan of treatment. While this is an exciting evolution that brings with it incredible opportunities for improved clinical capabilities and ultimately, improved patient outcomes, there are challenges that need to be […]
Historical perspectives in hematology laboratory automation: The barriers and breakthroughs
Evolution of automated cell counters Counting and classifying blood cells is one of the oldest laboratory methods available for the evaluation of a patients’ health. Revealing both quantitative and qualitative data, the complete blood count (CBC) and complete blood count with differential (CBC w/diff) tests are the most commonly performed tests in the clinical hematology […]
