NanoZoomer RS, the newest member of the NanoZoomer family. A compact and affordable digital slide scanner with the same high speed and image quality of the full size NanoZoomer.
Automated slide scanning capacity of 6 standard slides or 2 double sizes.
The NanoZoomer series of digital slide scanners convert tissue on glass slides into digital slides at high speed with high resolution and color fidelity. The slides are created with a microscope equivalent magnification of 20x and a maximum spatial resolution of 0.23 microns. Offering the same performance as the larger NanoZoomer in a compact, lower cost design, the NanoZoomer RS uses smaller slide trays that hold either 6 standard slides or 2 double size slides.
Sharing the same data output and formats as the larger NanoZoomer, the digital slides can be stored and distributed over the internet to remote users who access the slides as if operating a real microscope
Features and Benefits
TDI Scanning technology creates 2 billion pixels in 3 minutes.
High speed and high resolution are possible with TDI. Two billion pixels are created in an area of 20mm x 20mm at 20x without the complicated tiling of a regular CCD camera.
Small footprint
Affordable cost
Z-stack scanning for thick samples
Optional slide tray to hold double size slides
Remote access through Internet using optional web server and software
Applications
Digital slides are becoming an indispensable technology in pathology and the key to the future of laboratory networking, information storage, data mining and pathology research.
Remote pathology and consultation networks
Hight quality education of medical students and doctors
Slide conference
Integration into laboratory information system
Research tool for tissue microarray or tissue analysis
