The tray-based system, engineered with minimal moving parts, eliminates slide-handling errors such as breakage and slide loss. Slides move through the system on the tray without interference by a robotic mechanism, allowing for a high-quality scan even if the slides are wet, frozen, or if cover slips are slightly off-center.

Our dynamic focus technology and innovative optics produce exceptional image quality, faithfully reproducing colors to match the appearance of glass slides under a microscope.
