Abstract:
The present invention relates to an illustration of an annotation ( 22 ) at a sample slide ( 14 ). It is the intention for the invention to copy the annotation ( 22 ) provided at a reference slide ( 12 ) to the sample slide ( 14 ). Typically, a reference image ( 26 ) of the reference slide ( 12 ) is provided, in particular by scanning the reference slide ( 12 ). The reference image ( 26 ) therefore has the information about a reference slice ( 16 ) which is carried by the reference slide ( 12 ). Furthermore, the reference slide ( 12 ) has been marked with a region of interest ( 20 ) and the annotation ( 22 ), which can be associated with the region of interest ( 20 ). If such reference slide ( 12 ) is scanned, the respective reference image ( 26 ) comprises the information about the marked region of interest ( 20 ) as well as the annotation ( 22 ), too. Furthermore, the sample slide ( 14 ) carrying a sample slice ( 18 ) can be scanned, in order to provide a sample image ( 28 ). The sample slice ( 18 ) and the reference slice ( 16 ) are cut from the same object ( 10 ) of a biological material. In particular, the sample slice ( 16 ) has been cut directly after a cut of a material block has been preformed to provide the reference slice ( 18 ). Since the reference slice ( 16 ) and the sample slice ( 18 ) are from the same object ( 10 ), their features are very likely that the reference image ( 26 ) and the sample image ( 28 ) are very similar. Due to this similarity, the annotation ( 22 ) of the reference slide ( 12 ) is copied on a basis of an image recognition between reference image ( 26 ) and the sample image ( 28 ) to the sample slide ( 14 ).

Claim (Index 2):
Apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the reference slice is a stained slice of the object, and the sample slice is an unstained or differently stained slice of the object.
