Claim One:
1. A histopathology and/or cytopathology viewer, comprising: a display; and a viewer circuit configured to cause the display to concurrently display: (i) a macroscopic view of a grossing specimen with virtual cut location marks associated with orientation and location of actual physical cut locations used to obtain tissue samples from the grossing specimen and (ii) at least one digital microscopic whole-slide image (WSI) of a tissue section from the specimen, wherein, for the at least one WSI image on the display, a relevant virtual cut location mark is shown visually enhanced from other virtual cut location marks on the macroscopic view to thereby allow a user to visually connect where the tissue section in the WSI image was obtained during a grossing procedure, wherein different tissue samples from different cut locations have unique electronic identifiers that correlate a tissue sample with a physical cut location and/or the corresponding virtual cut location, wherein correlation data is subsequently integrated with block identifier data, and wherein the circuit is configured to access a data record file that provides cut location data for a respective slide, including its virtual cut location on the macroscopic view.
