Pictures show the negligibly small effect of the preparation process for scanning on the final pathologic routine: On-site scanning procedure did not interfere with the subsequent control immunohistochemical staining process. Immunohistochemical stains of two cases. Case 22: invasive ductal (NST) carcinoma. a and b: Estrogen receptor (ER) stain, low expression. a HE stain, regular formalin fixation. B HE stain, formalin fixation after confocal microscopy. c and d: Ki-67 proliferation index. c HE stain, regular formalin fixation. d HE stain, formalin fixation after confocal microscopy. Case 23: high grade DCIS. e and f: ER stain, high expression. e HE stain, regular formalin fixation. f HE stain, formalin fixation after confocal microscopy. g and h: Basal cytokeratins (CK5/6). g HE stain, regular formalin fixation. h HE stain, formalin fixation after confocal microscopy
