Introduction
OVERVIEW AND FUNCTION OF THE IMAGER DUO
The ThinPrep
®
Imager Duo is a system for imaging and analyzing ThinPrep
cervical cytology sample slides. Slides that have been processed on a ThinPrep
Processor are then stained with ThinPrep Stain and coverslipped. The slides are
loaded into slide cassettes and placed into the Imaging Station. The slides are
processed in a batch, one slide at a time, by the Imaging Station, which reads
the slide accession ID number and images the cell spot of the slide. The Image
Processor Controller contains the processors used to image and analyze the
slide data. The slide data is sent to the system Server for storage. The Server
maintains the database and communicates to the Review Scope. The User Inter-
face is a menu-driven, graphical display used by the operator for operating the
equipment. The Imager Duo includes:
•
Imaging Station
: images the slides. (Figure 1-1.)
•
Image Processor Controller
: captures the images and controls the elec-
tromechanical components of the system.
•
Server
: stores the slide ID and pertinent image data.
•
User Interface
: consists of a monitor, keyboard and mouse. The operator
uses these to operate the instrument.
Note:
The Imaging Station and Image Processor Controller together are
referred to as the
Imager Duo
throughout this manual.
Note
: Throughout this manual, illustrations of the Image Process Controller
and the Server are representative. The appearance of the actual equip-
ment may differ from the illustrations.
Note
: For sites that perform ThinPrep slide reviews at a location separate from
the imaging facility, refer to Chapter 10, Remote Site Server User’s
Guide.
