A slide isn’t one giant file.
It’s a mosaic — served straight from your own cloud storage. Your viewer does the stitching, locally. No tile server, no proxy, no virtual machine anywhere in the viewing path.
Digital pathology, without the two-year deployment.
Hemisphere Lens puts whole-slide images on your pathologists' screens — running in your hospital's own Azure tenant, live in four to eight weeks, at roughly a tenth the total cost of an enterprise platform.
- Your worklist — built into the viewer.
- Your cases — routed by specialty and workload.
- Your infrastructure — included.
Open Lens. Get to work.
Windows, macOS and Linux — installed on the workstation, not the browser.

a software by quorum technologies
The best server is no server.
We’re very proud of what we didn’t build.
Their servers run all night.
Just in case someone opens a slide. Ours scale to almost zero and wake when a slide arrives. No seats, no caps, no new servers to buy.
Every reader gets their own lane.
One pathologist? Fast. Twenty? Fast. Fifty, signed in at once? Fast. Nobody waits behind anybody. This is pathology in 2026 — not 2010.
Storage with a thermostat.
Hot when it’s fresh. Cool when it’s quiet. Archive when it’s history. Policy moves it, not people — and blob storage serves the edge, too.
Standards-native, not standards-adjacent.
DICOMweb through Azure Health Data Services — QIDO-RS, WADO-RS and STOW-RS against the same images your pathologists are reading. Your VNA, your PACS and third-party viewers query it directly.
It runs in your tenant.
Images in your blob storage, case metadata in your database, every service inside your own Azure subscription. Pathologists sign in with the Entra ID credentials they already have.
Slides open before you ask.
Pan a whole-slide image like a map — macro to cellular in one move, two-times to forty-times, with nothing in the way.
The whole toolset, under your thumb.
Right-click anywhere on the slide and the dial opens where your cursor already is — eight slots you assign yourself, drawn as one legible instrument instead of a scatter of floating buttons. Aim and release with the mouse, or drive the entire dial from a gamepad without ever touching the keyboard.
Thirty-three actions, arranged the way you work. Hover a slot with options and its sub-ring fans out under your cursor.
This is the real component — move your pointer over it, or tab to it and use the arrow keys.
Every stain, isolated live.
Recognised automatically across fourteen stain families and separated on the GPU in real time — hematoxylin, eosin, chromogen — with stain area reported in mm².
Focus through the tissue.
Rack focus like a microscope. Step the focal planes of a Z-stack in place, half a micron at a time — smooth, and with no black frames between planes.
See the glass. Not just the pixels.
The slide as it physically exists — a 3D glass slab you can fly across, with the tissue cut out along its own contours.
Everything you reach for, built in.
Tissue detection, side-by-side slides locked in micron-perfect sync, freehand annotation, ruler measurement, mitotic counts and a detachable magnifier.
Whatever you already have.
NDPI, SVS, MRXS and DICOM whole-slide images. Legacy slides from a previous system land in the same worklist as the ones scanned this morning.
Your case list, inside the viewer.
No jumping out to a separate system to find your next case. Cases, buckets and slides sit right on the canvas, in a drawer that slides over the slide you are already reading.
Five buckets, one drawer.
All, Incoming, On Hold, Review and Signed. Every case carries its slide count, its date and the pathologist it belongs to — one click from the slide itself.
The right pathologist, by specialty and availability.
The assignment wizard matches a case against each pathologist’s subspecialties, skips anyone unavailable, and takes the least-loaded first. Special-stain cases route to an available sub-specialist instead of landing on whoever is next in the list.
Built from the barcode.
Cases are assembled from the accession number on the glass, so there is no inbound HL7 project, no interface engine and no integration testing with your LIS vendor.
It augments the LIS. It doesn’t replace it.
One outbound touchpoint — the finished report, as an HL7 ORU message or a PDF. Ordering, patient history and sign-out stay exactly where they are.
You buy it. You own it.
Perpetually licensed. No seats, no subscriptions, no meter running while your pathologists read.
- Per-seat licences
- Case-assembly fees
- Inference surcharges
We left inventing new fees to the competition.
About one-tenth the total cost of ownership.
Against the seven-figure enterprise platforms — because there is no image-management licence to buy, no NAS or SAN to procure, and no inbound integration project to fund.
Your cloud usage is the whole bill.
Lens leverages the Azure subscription you already own. You pay Microsoft for storage you can see on your own invoice, and you pay us once for the software.
Live in weeks, not years.
Four to eight weeks from scanner installation to pathologists reading digitally, against six to eighteen months for an enterprise deployment.
Updates are code, not data.
We ship container images. You pull and deploy them on your own schedule, and nobody needs remote access to your production environment.
Politely ruthless. Proudly Canadian.
Built in Canada, owned by your lab — digital pathology inspired by the true north: strong, affordable, and yours to keep.
