Try every catalog and location feature free for 7 days. After the trial, continue for $2.99 monthly or $19.99 yearly, auto-renewing. Find a slide by its physical path from collection to cabinet, tray, and slot. SlideAtlas Lab is a local catalog and storage map for microscope slide collections. It answers a question that grows harder with every box and tray: where is this physical slide now? The app models storage as a hierarchy: a collection contains storage units, a unit contains trays, and each tray contains named or numbered slots. A slide is placed at a specific location, giving it a path that can be followed in the room. Start by creating a collection for the slides you maintain. Add the cabinet, case, or drawer used in the space, create its trays and slots, then place entries where the glass slides sit. The map is hardware-independent, needing no particular microscope, camera, or lab system, and can describe a teaching collection, a personal set, or another local archive. Each catalog entry can hold the facts you choose, such as an identifier, title, source note, and date. The app stores your description; it does not inspect the specimen or verify its scientific meaning. Search by the text recorded, then open a result to see its location path through the collection, storage unit, tray, and slot. When a slide moves, record the new destination rather than editing a free-text note, distinguishing a truly missing slide from one deliberately relocated. Loans are recorded as local events: note that a slide left its position, identify the borrower, and record its return; this is a record of a loan, not a booking service. Map one cabinet at a time: label the trays and slots first, reproduce those names in the app, then place a small group of entries and verify each path by hand before expanding. Update the app the moment a slide moves, since the map is only as accurate as its latest entry. SlideAtlas Lab does not control microscope hardware or cameras. It cannot move a stage, change illumination, or import a live feed, and stays useful regardless of which optical equipment views the collection. There is no image analysis. The app does not identify cells, tissues, organisms, or staining, and cannot classify a slide from a photograph or confirm the description matches what is under the microscope. It is not a diagnostic tool and does not advise whether a specimen suits clinical, teaching, or research use. Storage suitability is not assessed either; a mapped slot is only a location entry. No account is required, and there is no institution login or developer-hosted database. Collections, units, trays, slots, descriptions, movements, and loans stay on the device. Cloud sync is not provided, so records do not appear on another device, and multi-user editing is not supported. Use one responsible device and protect it with an iOS passcode; loss, failure, or deletion will not trigger recovery from a developer cloud. The 7-day free trial includes collection setup, the storage hierarchy, catalog entries, search, and movement and loan history. At the trial's end, the selected plan is charged to the Apple Account used for purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; removing the app does not cancel it. To cancel or change a plan, open iOS Settings, select your Apple Account, and open Subscriptions. Restore Purchases restores an entitlement on the same Apple Account. Both plans include the same features; localized prices appear on Apple's purchase sheet. SlideAtlas Lab does not try to interpret what a slide means. It gives the collection a durable, searchable shape: collection, cabinet, tray, slot, and movement. When the label is known but the glass cannot be found, that location path is the feature that matters.
