 +Gross processing or "​grossing"​ is the process by which pathology specimens undergo examination with the bare eye to obtain diagnostic information,​ as well as cutting and tissue sampling in order to prepare material for subsequent microscopic examination. ([[https://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Gross_processing|Wikipedia]])
 +
 +In order to provide a reference and link between macroscopic and microscopic samples, a //regular// photograph is often taken from a specimen before it is [[https://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Histology#​Sample_preparation|further processed]].
