• Pathologist

  A device used by pathologists to examine tissue on slides; the microscope magnifies the tissue so that pathologist can examine the individual cells and make a diagnosis. [pathology.jhu.edu]

  The pathologist also determines the tumor’s grade and identifies other characteristics of the tumor. [cancer.gov]

  The slide is then given to the pathologist, who examines the tissue under a microscope, looking for any abnormal findings. The pathologist then prepares a report that lists any abnormal or important findings from the biopsy. [en.wikipedia.org]
