2. “This new technology provides the perfect solution to the current
limitations in the acquisition, processing and sharing of information:
a revolution in histopathology similar to the one experienced by
radiologists a few years ago when digital images were replacing X-ray
films. In conclusion, in our department there is an era before and after
the introduction of the VisionTek. This system is so flexible, simple and
robust that we can no longer do without it.”
Prof. Pierre Brousset,
Head of the Department of Pathology, Institut Universitaire du Cancer (IUC)

3. USER EXPERIENCES;
LIVE ROUTINE MICROSCOPY
ENTERS THE DIGITAL WORLD
Bringing live routine microscopy to the new digital world, Sakura Finetek proudly introduces
the VisionTek live digital microscope, the first of its kind.
With this collection of interviews, various user experiences from European pathologists
are highlighted. We would like to give you the opportunity to take a closer look at laboratories
that have integrated the VisionTek in their daily routine.
The VisionTek is specifically designed with the
routine workflow of the pathologist in mind. As a
result of this focus, the VisionTek fits the needs of all
pathologists. The logical, user friendly software offers
the most important features for daily use; diagnosis,
sharing, consulting and archiving are made easy.
The pathologist is in complete control.
The VisionTek is a perfect hybrid solution, where
all the true benefits of digital imaging are being
combined with the excellent live view of the regular
light microscopy.
The high-end motorized, digital microscope captures
real-time images, for live viewing and precise
measurements, all within seconds. The live multi-
view mode is perfect for complex cases, displaying
multiple slides and stains on one screen. This not
only optimizes the workflow, but can significantly
decrease diagnostic time.
Live sharing of images has never been easier; the
large, high-definition screen displays extensive
details, which can be viewed alone or together. The
snapshot option is a powerful tool for creating instant,
high resolution pictures of single slide or multi-views,
which can be used directly in presentations. The
perfect digital solution for consulting or informing off-
site colleagues.
The VisionTek is a live digital microscope including
scanner capabilities, for scanning whole and partial
slides. The pathologist now has complete control
of the entire recording process, and decides what,
where and how to scan. The perfect diagnostic tool
for the pathologist.

4. VisionTek SHARE
The large high definition monitor provides an amazing
live image for diagnosis. The widescreen image
can also be used for other purposes. The image
can be viewed by all participants on the same high
resolution, making face-to-face education direct and
more personal than using a multi-head microscope.
High resolution snapshots of single or multi-view
screens are made, just by the click of your mouse.
These are instantly usable, which significantly
reduces preparation time for presentations. It is also
possible to make a live connection with the VisionTek,
presenting the cases live instead of recording them
first.
VisionTek CONSULT
Some difficult and complex cases need an expert or second opinion. When this colleague is within the premises,
consulting is easy: the high definition screen makes discussing and diagnosing cases together extremely easy.
In many cases the expert colleague will not be in the same department. With the VisionTek, live images can
be shared with remote colleagues anywhere: on another floor, building, city or even continent, providing direct
access and control of the case to both pathologists in a fully secured, digital way.
Due to easy access, tumor boards will benefit optimally from sharing the real-time live slides and cases.
The live mode prevents the need for sending physical glass slides by regular post, which is unnecessarily time
consuming. All cases can be viewed live and real-time, there is no need to scan the slides first, and sending the
extremely large digital files to the receiving party. This will immediately save digital storage capacity for both
sender and receiver. The images are also immediately accessible, due to reduced upload and download time.
VisionTek DIAGNOSE
For precise and expert diagnosis a detailed, crystal sharp image is essential. Through the high quality Carl
Zeiss objectives and high resolution cameras, a superb live image is created and presented on the widescreen
monitor. Contrary to current scanners, all displayed images are live and digital and do not need to be stored in
advance.
With live images diagnostic tools, like real-time annotations such as distances and area measurements, can be
used, without the need to save the image first. In addition to a detailed single live image, there is the possibility
to show a multi-view of several live images, together in one screen. This unique feature provides the possibility
of presenting different stains, of the same tissue, in one overview. Of course live superimposing can be done
within seconds. As a result of this direct comparison, live diagnosis of complex cases is simplified and the time
to diagnosis is dramatically reduced.

5. VisionTek ARCHIVE
With the VisionTek, the pathologist is in full control of the archiving and storing process. As the VisionTek is a
live digital microscope, there is no need to store all the slides before viewing. Every case can be diagnosed live,
without wasting scanning time and server space.
The pathologist decides if there is a need to archive and if so, which slide or specific area of this slide is important
to digitally archive. Current scanners need to scan all the slides in advance, before diagnosis is possible. This
process creates an enormous amount of data. With the VisionTek the pathologist decides exactly why and what
to scan, therefore the recorded images stay small, always in focus and manageable. There are several options
that can be used to record the desired area of interest: screenshots, high resolution snapshots, mini-, whole- or
partial- and even z-stacked scanned images. The pathologist decides what, when and how to archive.

6. LIVE DIGITAL MICROSCOPY EMPOWERS
THE PATHOLOGIST IN ONCOLOGY
The user-friendliness of this digital microscope is one
of the first things the professor notices. “The VisionTek is
unique because the digital microscopic images are
shown in real time. The traditional image seen with a light
microscope is totally identical to the image appearing on the
VisionTek screen. The pathologist is still able to focus within
the digital microscopic image – in contrast to the image of a
scanner – which makes this technique also excellent to evaluate
cytology.“
Many applications
“Certain features of the VisionTek result in an image that is
much more similar to the ordinary microscope than a scanned
image. Because samples are different everywhere, it is very
important that you can adjust the focus. Furthermore, it is very
easy to compare different images from the same case, which is
something you cannot do with an ordinary microscope. It is very
easy to make pictures and measure lesions digitally. I can go on
and on about the benefits,” he says, smiling.
VisionTek use during congresses
The digitalization of pathology is still in progress and digital
technology is not yet applied everywhere. However, because of
its user-friendliness the VisionTek is a great tool to use during
congresses and presentations. Prof. Van Krieken illustrates
this with his experience on a video conference at the ECP
congress 2014 in London, at which live microscopy sessions
were discussed using the VisionTek. “Initially some pathologists
where apprehensive, but each user was able to work with it
almost immediately. This proves again that the VisionTek is very
easy to use.”
Prof. Han van Krieken is Head of the
Department of Pathology at the Radboud
University Nijmegen Medical Centre in
the Netherlands. He is President of the
European Society of Pathology and a
highly reputable professor and innovator.
As an experienced VisionTek user he
recognizes the opportunities this recent
innovation provides to pathology. Prof. Van
Krieken explains why the implementation
of this digital microscope is essential for
both present and future pathology.

7. The Department of Pathology at the Radboud University
Nijmegen Medical Centre in the Netherlands delivers 60,000
pathology reports per year and employs 16 pathologists and
16 physician assistants. It is one of 54 pathology laboratories in
the Netherlands, 8 of which are based in academic centers.
Emergency consultation
At the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, the most
widely used application in pathology is emergency consultation.
“The VisionTek is very useful for live consultation with a
colleague. You can discuss on the phone while looking at the
exact same live microscopic image. I do that a lot in emergency
consultations or in very special clinical cases. For example:
today I am alone – my colleague has a day off – so if I need a
consultation, I can call him briefly. He then logs in and observes
the image directly. This is very convenient, because we have
many urgent requests; often in the evening and on weekends.”
A clinical case
Another case with a lifesaving outcome involved a child
with impending paraplegia who was suspected to have an
osteosarcoma. The pathologist on call needed immediate
consultation from a colleague, but the pathologist specialized
in cases like this, lives far away. Now we could quickly do this
consultation live with the VisionTek. And with success, for the
paraplegia has absolutely been avoided because of this fast
consulation.”
Great prospects for pathology
Prof. Van Krieken explains how he sees the role of the pathologist
now and in the future. “With the new techniques, pathology can
be even more valuable than it already is. Through the use of new
technologies, such as the VisionTek, the pathologist can solve a
problem quickly, which makes it more interesting for surgeons to
involve pathologists. Our role is becoming increasingly important
in decision-making processes as well. In that role, the strength of
the pathologist lies in the fact that he communicates directly with
many different clinicians; especially for complex clinical cases.
I see great prospects for pathology through digitalization, but
also through molecular pathology and liquid biopsies. Our
knowledge is very important with regards to test results,
because the results have become so complex that clinicians
often have trouble to interpret them. As a pathologist, we must
take up this challenge. Some pathologists continue to focus on
all of histopathology, but they cannot offer the clinician what is
needed, nor meet their demands.
In summary, prof. Van Krieken experiences the use of the
VisionTek as a supplemental tool in the rapidly developing world
of oncology. In addition to new technologies, such as molecular
pathology and tumor genetics, digitalization of pathology is an
irreversible process: a fact. The digital microscope provides
the pathologist many possibilities. It undoubtedly is a new
development that in the near future will become indispensable in
the pathology laboratory.
“The VisionTek is unique because the digital
microscopic images are shown in real time”
“The strength of the pathologist lies in the fact that he
communicates directly with many different clinicians”

8. THE VISIONTEK AS
A REMARKABLE NEW ASSET
IN DIGITAL PATHOLOGY
At the request of the Department of Pathology at the
Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen University Hospital, Dr. Grupe
Larsen was involved in a study that aimed to find how
real-time digital microscopy can contribute to the workflow of
a consultation. The results of the study were remarkable. Not
only because the live digital images were of very high quality, but
also because the VisionTek provided a lot of convenience and
speed compared with a consultation using physical slides.
Logistics around revision of specimens
The project, aiming to improve the logistics around consultation
for urological specimens, started with a collaboration with
Prof. Ben Vainer, pathologist at the University of Copenhagen.
Dr. Grupe Larsen: “The main goal of this study was to
evaluate whether real-time digital microscopy for urological
cancer specimens can substitute physical slide referral and
re-assessment. In our hospital we treat many patients with
bladder cancer, so that is why it was obvious we were included.
When I received a specimen that was suitable for this project,
I contacted Ben Vainer via email. He then logged in and we
discussed the specimen by phone. Working with the VisionTek
is very fast: if you want to look at another slide, it literally only
takes a few seconds to do this. When we agreed on the diagnosis
of a specific specimen, I described our discussion in the report of
the patient and finished it.”
Digital diagnosis with confidence
When Dr. Grupe Larsen presented images of the VisionTek to
new colleagues in Copenhagen, they were surprised about the
high quality of the images on their screen and the possibility to
refocus, due to the fact that the VisionTek is a live microscope.
“Everyone was very confident to give their diagnosis based on
this digital image. They did not doubt for one second.” Dr. Grupe
Larsen also found that cytological specimens are diagnosed very
easily using the VisionTek.
Dr. Lise Grupe Larsen is one of the three pathologists working at the Naestved section of the
Department of Pathology in Region Sjaelland, 90 kilometers east from Copenhagen, Denmark.
She has participated in a study on the role of real-time digital microscopy in consultations. The
university was convinced by the results of this study and the proven benefits of the VisionTek,
representing a completely different approach and added value to digital pathology.

9. Emergency consulting
The Danish pathologist is impressed with other uses of the
VisionTek as well. For example, in case of emergency consulting,
the VisionTek has been of great value to the patient. Dr. Grupe
Larsen illustrates this by two clinical cases: “A few weeks ago
we had a frozen section of a tumor in a testicle of a young man.
I thought the tumor was benign, but I was not sure. I asked the
surgeon to wait ten more minutes and called my colleague in
Copenhagen. We used the VisionTek to quickly share the image,
and he agreed with my diagnosis. Thanks to the VisionTek this
young man could keep his testicle. Another case involved a
woman with rapidly growing bladder cancer, growing into the
uterus. It was Friday morning. Consulting was necessary and
would take more than a day without the VisionTek. I consulted a
colleague and we agreed this was a type of cancer suitable for
chemotherapy. In this case, where the patient was very ill, our
fast diagnosis allowed the doctor to see the patient the same day
instead of after the weekend, three days later.”
New way of working
Dr. Grupe Larsen sees many opportunities for this innovation in
order to better organize pathology services, especially in light
of the shortage of pathologists in Denmark. Besides; the use of
the VisionTek in case of emergency allows for quick consultation
when necessary. Moreover, it is also a very pleasant way of
working. “It is very nice to work with the VisionTek. For example,
my work has become a lot more social. To use the VisionTek you
have to be more open minded and discuss your opinion. I do
admit that, in some cases, it is fine with me that I do not see the
expression on a colleague’s face when I give my opinion (laughs).
I found this new way of working challenging and this absolutely
gives me more satisfaction and joy in my work.”
The Department of Pathology in Region Sjælland, with
laboratories at Naestved, Slagelse and Roskilde Hospital in
Denmark processes 15,000 pathology reports per year and
employs 20 pathologists. It is one of 13 pathology departments
in Denmark, with 4 pathology departments in academic centers.
“The VisionTek is especially indispensable in a small
department with very few pathologists, like in my
situation.”
“This new way of working gives me more satisfaction
and joy in my work”

10. Dr. François: “In everyday use, the VisionTek is ideal for multi-
viewing. It provides a lot of benefits because you can see the
different staining techniques side by side on the screen. This
allows for a quick assessment and facilitates discussions
with colleagues.” He illustrated one of the benefits with a
specific case where multi-viewing with the VisionTek proved
its value: ”Using the multi-view, we could analyze a biopsy
of a child with colitis much more accurately. A histological
slide was positive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), but we could
not localize it on the hybridization. By showing various
staining techniques (histology, immunohistochemistry, and
in-situ hybridization) side by side, we could pinpoint the cells
that had been marked for EBV on the sample. That helped us
find the exact location of the infection at a cellular level. The
VisionTek made our diagnosis much more precise, allowing a
better understanding of disease mechanisms.”
Small but important advantage
Due to the development of many subspecialties within pathology,
Dr. François notices a greater need for quick second opinions
from specialist colleagues. The VisionTek delivers high quality
and convenience: “I was used to sending a selection of the
digital pictures to a colleague for a first impression. The next
day, I would send the actual samples. With the VisionTek,
the specialized pathologist can see the entire tissue sample
immediately at a remote location. This is a small but important
advantage, because it eliminates the risk to miss crucial areas of
the lesion. Now the expert can point them out to me, because the
whole slide is on a live image.”
Dr. Arnaud François is pathologist at the
University of Rouen in France. He has
embraced the diversity of the VisionTek
and has integrated it into his daily
routine. Many new users emphasize their
positive experience with the VisionTek
in consulting other pathologists in the
diagnostic process. Dr. François sees this
as a promising trend.
LIVE IMAGING: AN IMPORTANT NUANCE
IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY ONCOLOGY TEAMS

11. Simplifying logistics
The VisionTek also allows for a lot of progress in simplifying the
logistics around the analysis. Dr. François illustrates one of the
logistics benefits in case of a frozen section: “Currently, a frozen
section from an external location is brought to the laboratory with
an emergency service. This transport causes a delay of about
45 minutes for the sample to be analyzed, while the patient is
still in the operating room. With the VisionTek, a technician from
our department would be able to work at the hospital where the
operation takes place. He could first discuss the macro-resection
area with the pathologist by sending him a digital image. The
technician could then process the tissue to lightmicroscopy
slides and send the full digital images to the pathologist, using
the VisionTek. We would then be able to assess the entire region,
not just a micro area on a picture, and make a diagnosis without
having to travel. This would be a huge time saver, without any
quality loss.”
Added value for logistics
and other specialties
Dr. François is also very pleased with use of the VisionTek
for presentations, both to students as well as to colleagues
from other specialties. “It is a useful tool for preparing and
giving lectures. I find it very pleasant that the scanned files are
“I find it very pleasant that the scanned files are less than 150 MB instead
of an average of 1.5 GB, which is faster and requires less storage”
“This is a huge time saver, without any quality loss”
small - less than 150 MB instead of an average of 1.5 GB -
which is faster and requires less storage. Besides convenience
for my lectures, I also frequently use it in multidisciplinary
consultations with other specialists. For example, in our hospital
many renaltransplant biopsies are performed. The tissue is
delivered to the pathology laboratory in the morning and I send
the digital images to the nephrology team in the afternoon. With
this approach, the medical team is able to interpret the images
themselves while I discuss the specimen with them by phone.
This way the pathologist can contribute more accurately to
patient care. This new approach also saves a lot of time and
makes it easier to make the right decision. Because the clinician
now receives the specific images, he knows exactly what I am
referring to. This also emphasizes the work of the pathologist as
a vital link in the multidisciplinary team of specialists”.
The Department of Pathology at the University of Rouen is
located 140 kilometers west of Paris, France. The department
with 19 pathologists (including partial time) processes 25,000
histological samples and over 6,000 cytological samples
per year from the university hospital, regional clinics, and
hospitals. It is one of 32 pathology laboratories in France
that are based in university hospitals.

12. ”NEVER UNDERESTIMATE
THE IMPORTANCE OF
A SECOND OPINION”
Prof. Herbst shares his experience working with the VisionTek
live digital microscope. Within seconds, the microscopic images
that normally are seen through the eyepieces are translated into a
three-dimensional digital image, in which the pathologist himself
is ‘pushing the buttons’. The pathologist stays in control. This
innovation offers a range of novel possibilities. Prof. Herbst’s
experience with using this new live digital microscope illustrate
that this innovation opens many doors to necessary development
in the work of the pathologist.
A quick second opinion
“The VisionTek is a very important tool in a setting such as,
in our case, a network of pathologists. The institute Vivantes
Klinikum Neukölln in Berlin works with eleven pathologists at
five locations, every location is equipped with its own VisionTek.
Each pathologist in this chain is specialized in a different
component of pathology. On average, two pathologists are
working at each location. The importance of a quick second
opinion by a colleague should not be underestimated. If a
colleague at his or her location is not available and there is
no possibility for consultation, this can lead to loss of quality.
The digital microscope resolves this problem because you can
instantly share live images with a colleague at a different location.
This is the type of standardization I deemed necessary to ensure
the quality of our service.”
Time savings
Prof. Herbst found that the VisionTek provides added value to
the work of the pathologist: ”The time you need to load and
share a slide is negligible compared with the time savings
you get because, for example, you do not need to travel
to assess a frozen section or send a microscopic slide to
another location. With the VisionTek, it is also possible to
remotely access patient cases, so you do not have to travel
to diagnose. I do this just from my own office. Furthermore,
the images I have viewed for a frozen section are being recorded
on video. I keep this video until I have seen all paraffin slides
of the patient’s tissue. After that, the digital images or video
can be deleted. I find that a great advantage of this live digital
microscope as well.”
Digital microscopy is on the rise. Pathologists who work with these novel microscopes, found that
assessing compositions by means of a screen is different. Prof. Hermann Herbst, pathologist in
Berlin, sees that digitalization is the solution to a major problem in clinical pathology in Germany:
the shortage of pathologists. In his experience, digital microscopes are even a necessity for
oncopathology, the specialty that is essential for making a correct diagnosis in cancer diagnostics.

13. Workflow
“This live digital microscope is the best for consultation,
emergency preparations, and second opinions. It works
effectively, efficiently and is beneficial for the workflow. I do
not need to scan all of my slides, but I would use the VisionTek
scanner function for example for immunohistochemistry. The
distribution in the workflow of immunohistochemistry used to
take half a day. Now scanning takes place at the workplace,
the results can directly be distributed to different pathologists
through satellites.
Security and convenience
It is clear that Prof. Herbst experiences the use of the VisionTek
as a great benefit. An innovation that not only guarantees quality,
but also gives the pathologist a lot of security and convenience.
Convenience in the form of time savings and extension of local
services. Security because the VisionTek, with its many user
benefits, provides liberties within the microscopic world of cancer
diagnostics. It is clear that this way of working is an extremely
cost effective way, in which the pathologist can remain faithful to
the light microscope.
In Germany there are 1,700 pathologists, 718 in private
practices and 596 in hospitals. Prof. Herbst is the director of all
Pathology departments of Vivantes in Berlin: the network of all
citizen Hospitals in Berlin, East and West. He leads 7 Pathology
institutes, including the Center for Stains and Innovation.
All 9 departments are CAP accredited since 2009.

14. THE INDISPENSABLE ROLE OF LIVE IMAGING
AT THE RESEARCH CENTER INSTITUT
UNIVERSITAIRE DU CANCER
The slide-imaging platform is a joint venture of the Centre
Hospitalier Universitaire de Toulouse (CHU Toulouse), the
Institut Claudius Regaud (ICR) and the Centre de Recherches
en Cancérologie de Toulouse (INSERM CRCT). The concept is
based on virtual microscopy, in which the images created by the
VisionTek can be perfectly integrated. Prof. Brousset explains
that the partnership between these institutes is a breeding
ground for a highly effective approach to translational research.
This allows a continuum between basic science and health. It has
the potential to greatly improve the quality of cancer treatment.
The added value of live imaging
in digital pathology
Prof. Brousset continues: “The VisionTek is the most convenient
system to increase our expertise. Working with this digital
microscope is very intuitive and fast, and the image resolution
is more than excellent. By using Microsoft Lync and a remote
control software the users can directly assess the remote slide.
This system saves a lot of time because it is not necessary to
scan the slide. The VisionTek is also very useful for teaching and
research meetings. Interesting cases, typical lesions and new
markers can be shown consistently in meetings at the pathology
laboratory. Expert networks meet every week to discuss difficult
or didactically interesting cases. Pathologists can bring their
slides and submit them instantly to their colleagues and to other
clinicians. Conventional scanners do not provide this facility.
Lastly, the VisionTek is frequently used for research meetings.
Human tumors, but also animal tissue sections, are presented
during joint meetings with physicians and scientists involved
in collaborative research projects. Besides the time saved
by presenting slides live, the added value of VisionTek is the
capability to provide high-quality scanned slides as well.”
The Department of Pathology at the
Institut Universitaire du Cancer (IUC) in
Toulouse, France is one of the biggest in
Europe, employing up to 35 pathologists
and 70 technicians and engineers.
The IUC is currently setting up a slide-
imaging platform for the comprehensive
cancer research institute located at the
Oncopôle, Toulouse. Digital pathology
offers enormous potential in increasing
the level of service and supporting
development of pathology as a specialty.
In this article, Prof. Pierre Brousset,
Head of the Department of Pathology at
the IUC, explains the added value of the
VisionTek in research, teaching and routine
pathology. His colleague Prof. Emmanuelle
Uro-Coste, Deputy Department Head,
illustrates this with a few examples of
how live imaging contributes to achieving
the great ambitions of this prestigious
institute.

15. Frozen sections
The department operates from three locations; a central
laboratory with all facilities and two small laboratories that are
mostly in contact with the operating rooms in the two main
surgical hospitals in Toulouse. Dozens of frozen sections are
processed and interpreted on a daily basis. This requires the
pathologists to have broad expertise. To guarantee quality, a
VisionTek is installed at every location.
Prof. Uro-Coste: “On two of the three sites, the pathologist
occasionally works alone. We have developed a system that
allows us to see which colleague is present at his workplace; it
works like a ‘spy’. It is reassuring to know you have the possibility
of direct consultation with a colleague, so that when you are in
doubt, you can still give a good diagnosis. This improves the
quality and gives the pathologist more confidence when working
alone.”
Prof. Uro-Coste shares an example where the VisionTek again
proved its value: “I had a difficult case of a brain tumor. The
question was whether it was a metastasis of prostate cancer or a
malignant glioma. The slides of the primary prostate cancer from
a previous resection were in the central laboratory at the other
location.
The VisionTek could send the entire sections to me live and
digitally. Now we could compare the slides and confirm that it
The Department of Pathology at the Institut Universitaire du
Cancer (IUC) in Toulouse, France processes 60,000 pathology
reports per year and employs 35 pathologists and 70 physician
assistants. It is one of 32 pathology laboratories in France that
are based in university hospitals.
“This system is so flexible, simple and robust that we
can no longer do without it”
was a high grade Gleason prostate carcinoma. It was perfect
to examine this case this way. It was also a very special case,
because it did not look like prostate cancer at all, but the digital
slides from the previous resection allowed us to see it was the
same tumor after all. And I also do believe that the VisionTek is a
good starting point for a smooth transition to digital pathology.”
New era
Prof. Brousset: “This new technology provides the perfect
solution to the current limitations in the acquisition, processing
and sharing of information: a revolution in histopathology similar
to the one experienced by radiologists a few years ago when
digital images were replacing X-ray films. In conclusion, in our
department there is an era before and after the introduction of
the VisionTek. This system is so flexible, simple and robust that
we can no longer do without it.”
