Microscopic examination of cell tissue samples is time consuming and monotone process in histology laboratories. The increasing workload in these laboratories has attracted efforts in increasing the levels of automation to enhance productivity without affecting quality. However, the most demanding and time-consuming step in histopathology is the microtomy. In this project, an automated processing and handling method was developed, based on control & robotics for laboratories using microtome devices. The result was a device, suitable for installation on commercial microtomes for easier and faster histology analysis
