ViDio - Virtual Digital Annotations

Today we are far away from a paperless office. Many readers still prefer paper instead of electronic documents and thus they print out their documents for reading. Moreover, solutions for reading, annotating and editing a document away from a desktop computer are still rare to find. A reading processes that requires taking notes or annotating a document is only possible using paper. In this pap...

Microscope slide electrophoresis of serum lipoproteins in agarose gel.

An ultramicro electrophoretic technique for the separation of serum lipoproteins is described using agarose gel on microscope slides.The interaction between the agarose gel and lipoproteins has been reduced and the separation between beta- and pre-beta-lipoproteins has been improved over existing methods. A semiquantitative assay of the lipoproteins can be done in a densitometer. It is suggeste...

Preparation of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid with microscope slide smears.

The method of preparation of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) for cytological examination can significantly affect the results of cellular quantitation. Investigations have shown that cytocentrifugation leads to an underestimation of the number of lymphocytes and membrane filter preparation to an underestimation of the number of neutrophils. As a simple alternative to these two techniques, B...

Reading virtual slide using web viewers: results of subjective experience with three different solutions

BACKGROUND Virtual slides are viewed using interactive software that enables the user to simulate the behaviour of a conventional optical microscope, like adjusting magnifications and navigating to any portion of the image. Nowadays, information about the performance and features of web-based solutions for reading slides in real environments is still scarce. The objective of this study is analy...
