How do I begin?

  1. Know how to get the glass slides to us.
  2. Unless prior arrangements have been made, we require a filled-out scan request form prior to glass slide drop-off. 
  3. Using the form, through the drop-down menus and the "comment" field at the bottom, communicate your intended purpose for the digital images and any additional needs to us.
  4. Know where to look for the digital images once the scanning request is complete.

Next steps

  • Review the instructions for submitting slides, followed by filling out the online slide submission form & obtaining printout.
  • Note for researchers:  if you are mounting slides personally, please make sure slides are clean and free of air bubbles trapped beneath the coverslip.  Slides must be granted proper conditions for the mounting medium to completely cure:  at least 10-18 hours in a well-ventilated space (not inside a small, sealed slide box).  Slides suspected of incomplete curing will be held or returned.  Avoid excess mounting medium and align the coverslip carefully. 
  • Pathology Administrative Assistants:
    • There are pick-up spots for the slide and mail runners, who will make a dropoff at our NCRC 35 G417 location.
    • You're also welcome to drop off slides for us personally.
  • Researchers whose labs are at NCRC:
    • There is a wall box located outside NCRC Building 60 1631-C.
    • If you drop off slides there for scanning you must email slidescanningserv@med.umich.edu so we know to come pick them up.
  • For research requests originating at the main medical campus:
    • Bring this form and your slides to the location designated in the Transport of slides to/from NCRC link.
    • Slides will be packaged for courier shipment to NCRC. When the slide scan order is finished, slides will be returned to UH via courier. Please allow 3-4 hours after receiving email notification before checking the designated pickup area in UH for your slides.
