Digital pathology apparatus housing with rail system, speakerless audio system, and electromagnetic radiation shielding

A digital pathology apparatus, comprising:

• a bearing system comprising a left side bearing set and a right side bearing set;
• a housing comprising a left side, a right side, and an exterior surface having a through-hole, the left side comprising a left lower edge and the right side comprising a right lower edge, wherein the left lower edge and the right lower edge are oriented in a parallel manner;
• a left side rail secured to the left lower edge of the housing, the left side rail configured to engage the left side bearing set, wherein the left side rail is configured to slide along the left side bearing set to position the housing in a closed position or an open position;
• a right side rail secured to the right lower edge of the housing, the right side rail configured to engage the right side bearing set, wherein the right side rail is configured to slide along the right side bearing set to position the housing in the closed position or the open position;
• a latching system configured to secure the housing in the closed position;
• and
• a sensor system configured to determine whether the housing is in the closed position or the open position and thus cease an operation of the digital pathology apparatus when in the open position,
• wherein the digital pathology apparatus is configured to pass information through the through-hole and thereby between a user and the digital pathology apparatus when the housing is in the closed position.
