Application of Color Calibration in Photomicrography for Research Pathology

In research pathology, it is critical that color in photomicrographs and gross images accurately represents what is seen in the specimen. Consistency between images and image color rendering on computer monitors is essential for viewing and evaluating images. Several case studies will illustrate the importance of color calibration to assessments in research studies.

Sexual Maturity of the Gottingen Minipig: A Complex Story

We will describe the stages of spermatogenesis in young Gottingen Minipig males aged 5-8 weeks. It is also evident that the environment influences puberty in swine. Therefore, we will also present our current work exploring the role the environment plays in the induction of estrous in female minipigs.

Quantitative Digital Pathology Services for Discovery and Pre-Clinical: Raising the Bar on Quality, Innovation, and Productivity

Quantitative Digital Pathology (QDP) is the automated, quantitative assessment of whole slide images of tissue sections. QDP is an extremely important tool to better understand disease, target validation, determine the safety and efficacy of lead compounds, and for the qualification of biomarkers to support companion diagnostics. Yet, to precisely measure changes in hundreds of tissue samples for a research, discovery, or pre-clinical study, the workflow from histology to report must be optimized and standardized.
