Slide Scanner Microscopes

Slide scanner microscopes offer a range of imaging capabilities that enable many aspects of life science research, including pathology research. Functioning as digital microscopes, these instruments rapidly scan microscope slides to acquire and save images, eliminating the time-consuming setup and manual operation of a traditional microscope. In addition, many slide scanners also include automated features and image processing and analysis software, which can greatly improve throughput. When choosing a slide scanner, consider the desired imaging functions. In addition to brightfield, some scanners can carry out applications such as fluorescence, multicolor fluorescence, multiplexing, Z-plane focusing, and more.
