1. A digital pathology device configured to process a slide rack in which glass slides are positioned before and after scanning, the digital pathology device comprising:
a plurality of moving parts including a stage upon which a glass slide is positioned during scanning and a slide conveyor system configured to move glass slides between a position in the slide rack and a position on the stage;
a housing having an open position and a closed position, the housing configured to surround the plurality of moving parts on at least a plurality of sides in the closed position;
a sensor system configured to detect a transition of the housing from the closed position to the open position;
a hardware processor programmed to control movement of the plurality of moving parts, wherein the hardware processor is programmed to receive a signal from the sensor system and determine based upon the signal that the housing has transitioned from the closed position to the open position during processing of the slide rack, and in response to determining that the housing has transitioned from the closed position to the open position, the hardware processor is further programmed to control the stage and the slide rack and the slide conveyor system to position all glass slides in the slide rack and subsequent to positioning all glass slides in the slide rack, to prevent movement of the plurality of moving parts.
