[Histonet] clarificaiton RE: Space Issues

[Morken, Timothy]

To clarify, we got the mini keyboards to use with the touch screens because it is still easier to log in with a keyboard than an on-screen keyboard, and Copath is still not fully useable via touchscreen  - the text and buttons are too small. The next version (v2013) will have better touch screen capability. However, even with that caveat  once logged in there is little interaction with the computer beyond scanning a block or slide. Oh, we have the Honeywell 1900 scanners. Highly programmable for your needs.

Vicki for the same reasons we went with all-in-one touchscreen computers (monitor/computer in one unit) that are mounted via articulated arms to a track on the wall, so nothing on the bench. The track allows infinite positioning possibilities. We use the Cognitive Cxi1300 label printer at each microtome, which has a smaller footprint than a zebra, and mini-keyboards that include a touch pad. Some like a mouse, however so we got wireless mice for those people.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering what other labs were doing as far as tracking in very small lab areas (such as grossing rooms, microtomy stations, embedding stations).  Are you using laptops, touchscreens, regular PC's, etc. and what type of mounting have you found that works, etc. .    We are implementing a new computer system which will include specimen tracking and have VERY limited space so any suggestions anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Vicki Gauch
