Abstract: An endoscopic device in which the empty spaces between the plurality of tubes, wires, and cables are utilized as a channel that enables liquid or gas to flow from the handle section to the distal tip is described. Also described is a method of reducing the diameter of an endoscope device by utilizing the empty spaces between the plurality of tubes, wires, and cables as a channel that enables liquid or gas to flow from the handle section to the distal tip. Additionally a distal tip comprising a pattern of alternating grooves and lands on its outer surface and a cap that fits tightly over the lands is described. The tight fitting cap changes the grooves into closed channels through which liquid or gas can flow.

Abstract: Methods, computer readable storage media and systems which can be used for analyzing labeled biological samples, identifying chromosomal aberrations, identifying genetically abnormal cells and/or computationally scanning the samples using randomly or randomized scanning methods are provided. Specifically, the present invention can be used to analyze FISH-stained samples and automatically identify chromosomal aberrations associated with abnormal intensity ratio of stained occurrences in the sample.

Abstract: In a first aspect the invention is an endoscopic device in which the empty spaces between the plurality of tubes, wires, and cables are utilized as a channel that enables liquid or gas to flow from the handle section to the distal tip. In a second aspect the invention is a method of reducing the diameter of an endoscope device by utilizing the empty spaces between the plurality of tubes, wires, and cables as a channel that enables liquid or gas to flow from the handle section to the distal tip. In a third aspect the invention is a distal tip comprising a pattern of alternating grooves and lands on its outer surface and a cap that fits tightly over the lands. The tight fitting cap changes the grooves into closed channels through which liquid or gas can flow.

Abstract: A method for characterizing a stained pathological specimen is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining an image of the specimen, classifying the picture-elements of the image into classification groups, and using the classification groups to define at least one set of picture-elements corresponding to at least one tissue region of the pathological specimen. The method further comprises applying, on each set of picture-elements, at least one set-operator so as to characterize the tissue regions according to image data and spatial characteristics of the set.
