Very High-resolution Digital Slides Digital Slide Scanner Optimized for Oil Immersion Applications

23 Jun, 2008

Published over 18 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Microscopy & microtechniques.

Purpose-designed for oil immersion applications, the Aperio ScanScope® OS from Nikon Instruments creates high-resolution digital slides of blood smears, bone marrow, Gram stain, and other specimens requiring high magnification. An area of 10 x 10 mm is scanned in approximately 20 minutes, creating true-colour digital slides in multiple formats.

Ideal for haematopathology and microbiology, the ScanScope OS high-numerical aperture oil immersion objectives create digital slides with the same detail as conventional glass slides. Digital slides, however, do not break or degrade, and are easy to store, manage and share. ScanScope OS uses patented linear-array methodology which provides high-quality, high-resolution digital slides and includes Aperio`s ground-breaking Spectrumâ„¢ software for viewing, editing, data search and digital slide management.

Spectrum provides an effective, web-based digital pathology information management system that manages all digital slides, case/specimen/slide information and image analysis results. Special features for image analysis include easy batch processing of algorithms over hundreds of slides and a powerful search engine that retrieves slides of interest.

Digital slides provide the ideal solution for the interpretation, storage, management and sharing of pathology information whether for panel consultations, conferences, quality assurance programmes or education. The Aperio ScanScope OS, available now from Nikon Instruments, adds to Nikon’s extensive range of digital pathology solutions.
