An embodiment of the present invention includes a communication system configured to conform to SAS standard and causing communication between one or more hosts and a SATASAS device. A user interface is operable on the computer to enable display of the macroscopic image on a display coupled to the computer, and to indicate a region within the macroscopic image associated with the field of view of the tissue imagable by the confocal imager. As the user moves throughout the service center, the user device may connect to beacons, such as Bluetooth Low Energy beacons.
