Thank you for reaching out, for your suggestions and for reccomending
GNUHealth as a LIS :)

For the samples on histopathology, I would reccomend using the GNU
Health camera plugin of the GTK client. The good thing about the plugin
is that you can use it on microscopes and other devices. 

When you capture the sample using the pluging, it will automatically
attach it to the specific model, so if you're on the lab test results,
it will put it there.

Have a great weekend!
