Slide Scanner
Detailed Specifications: The slide scanner captures whole slide images at 20x and 40x magnification. The optical resolution is 0.25 microns per pixel at 40x. The scanner accepts up to 120 slides in a single batch with automated loading. The scan time is approximately 60 seconds per slide at 40x for a 15mm x 15mm area. The camera is a 5-megapixel CMOS sensor with 3-chip color separation. The scanner uses brightfield illumination with LED light source (50,000 hour life). The scanner connects via USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet. The dimensions are 500mm x 400mm x 400mm. The weight is 25kg. The scanner operates on 220V/50Hz power. The included software provides viewing, annotation, measurement, and analysis tools. The scanner is compatible with standard 75mm x 25mm slides. The scanner includes a barcode reader for slide identification. The image format is proprietary with export to TIFF and JPEG. The software includes telepathology sharing capabilities.
Slide Scanner. The Slide Scanner from Micron is a top rated digital pathology solution that converts traditional glass slides into high-resolution digital images for viewing, analysis, and sharing. This advanced instrument captures entire tissue sections at microscopic resolution, creating digital slides that can be viewed on computer monitors, shared with remote colleagues, and archived indefinitely without physical storage concerns. The fast scanning speed and high image quality make it suitable for routine clinical use, research applications, and telepathology consultations. For laboratories seeking the best digital pathology solution for their workflow, Micron's slide scanner is an outstanding choice.
One of the best features of this slide scanner is its ability to create whole slide images at multiple magnification levels. The scanner captures images at 20x and 40x magnification, allowing pathologists to view entire tissue sections at low power and zoom to high power for detailed cellular examination. The intuitive viewing software provides navigation controls similar to traditional microscopes, with pan, zoom, and annotation tools. The scanner can process multiple slides in a single batch, improving laboratory efficiency. The images can be stored on network servers, integrated with laboratory information systems, and shared securely for remote consultations. Its combination of speed, image quality, and software features makes it a top rated slide scanner for digital pathology implementation.
Micron has designed this slide scanner with the specific needs of clinical pathology and research laboratories in mind. The scanner produces images with accurate color reproduction, preserving the diagnostic features of H&E, IHC, and special stains. The fast scanning speed allows high-volume laboratories to digitize slides without creating bottlenecks. The scanner is compatible with standard 75mm x 25mm slides and accepts most common slide sizes. The robust construction ensures reliable performance with daily use. The included software provides tools for annotation, measurement, and image analysis. For any laboratory seeking to implement digital pathology for primary diagnosis, research, or telepathology, this slide scanner delivers exceptional value. Its quality, speed, and software capabilities make it one of the best slide scanners available for digital pathology applications.
