Hybrid storage in histology typically involves the following components:
1. Physical Storage: This includes the preservation of tissue samples and slides in controlled environments to prevent degradation. Standard practices involve the use of refrigeration, formalin fixation, and paraffin embedding. 2. Digital Imaging: High-resolution scanners are used to digitize physical slides, creating detailed digital images that can be stored and analyzed using specialized software. 3. Data Management Systems: Advanced software solutions are employed to organize, store, and retrieve digital data. These systems often include features for image analysis, annotation, and sharing. 4. Cloud Storage: Many institutions leverage cloud storage solutions to enhance accessibility and collaboration. Cloud storage ensures that data is securely stored and can be accessed by authorized personnel from any location.
