Abstract
Digital imaging is a core function in the science of cell biology and in the practice of pathology today. A thorough understanding of the fundamental elements of acquiring, displaying, and managing digital images is central to leveraging the power of digital imaging. The process of turning a photon into a pixel and then displaying those pixels in a way that helps solve a problem is the first step in unlocking the quantitative data that reside within a digital image. Whole sLide imaging technology offers the opportunity for the global digital image representation of tissues with subcellular resolution. This article will provide the reader with the necessary understanding of digital imaging fundamentals that must precede a learner's approach to image analytics and imaging platforms.
