Proven Technology for Researchers
Effortless scanning, exceptional results with excellent image quality, innovative technology and seamless integration – all driven towards faster turnaround time and accuracy for your important projects
Manual ScanManual Scan
Delivering researchers with an efficient solution for variability in slide preparation, Manual Scan provides:
Faster slide delivery with immediate rescanning from the same location.
Quick resolution of image issues by lab technicians including faintly stained IHC slides, small tissue fragments, low density tissues etc.
High-quality slides from challenging tissues.
Streamlined workflow and improved lab efficiency.
Extended Focus
Experience an efficient imaging solution that improves image quality while reducing storage needs. Extended Focus features include:
- Viewing all cells in focus on a single image, eliminating the need to scroll through layers.
- Smaller file sizes than Z-Stack images speed up file transfers, improving collaborative activities.
- Ideal in applications where thick specimens are viewed, which make the extended depth of field of images an issue to address.
DICOM with 20x,40x and Z-Stack
Aperio GT 450 uses a high-performance objective manufactured by Leica Microsystems, which has produced world-class optics since 1847. Leica optics deliver exceptional image quality
- Available alongside .svs, DICOM enables image clarity, improved collaboration and a streamlined workflow.
- 20x and 40x options for clear and detailed views of samples
- Z-Stacking enables the review of slide samples at varied heights
Precision, Potential to Scale, and Peace of Mind
Digital pathology scan speeds have not always been fast enough at 40x magnification to keep up with high-volume scanning (120k+ slides per year). Real-Time Focusing (RTF)** offers a potential solution to this problem. It’s a novel method to capture a digital image that combines an imaging line sensor and a focusing line sensor.
- While scanning, the focusing line sensor receives focusing data of the tissue.
- Proprietary algorithms determine the best focus value.
- Then, each best focus value is treated like a control loop with the mechanics, feeding the best focus value to the objective height on the fly.
- The positioning adjustments of the objective are performed continuously (in real time) in order to enable the imaging line sensor to capture the image at its best possible focus. Hence, real time focusing.
