Slides are scanned at 20x or 40x objective magnification, about 0.5 or 0.25 microns per pixel; a model trained at one scale can misread tissue at another.
Digital pathology scans slides with virtual microscopy at a chosen objective magnification (Wikipedia). 40x resolves nuclear detail at roughly 0.25 microns per pixel and 20x, at roughly 0.5, is the usual compromise between detail and file size; scanners record the exact microns per pixel in the file header. Pathology foundation models are trained at set magnifications and tile sizes, so preprocessing must rescale slides to the training resolution, and a change of scanner is a batch effect for images.
