Introduction:

Leica™ Slide Scanner

Fast, flexible and reliable, it is easy-to-use and consistently delivers high resolution, high quality images.

• Load and capture images of an entire carousel in less than 8 hours
• Sustained high throughput rate of 50 slides/hr with a 20x Objective
• Autoloader with 400-slide capacity
• Smaller file size and faster scanning with skip blank stripes technology
• Horizontal position minimizes risk of coverslips falling off
• Better first time success rates with fewer rescans
• Quiet, with minimal movement of slides in loader

Introduction:

Invitrogen™

EVOS FL Auto 2

• Speed: scan a 96-well plate in 3 fluorescent channels in less than 5 minutes
• Time-lapse live-cell imaging: option for precise control of temperature, humidity, and gases for normoxic or hypoxic conditions allows a wide range of biological studies under physiological conditions with an onstage incubator
• Area view: move rapidly and seamlessly between low-magnification, single-field mode and high-magnification scan mode to easily define and capture the area of interest
• Automation: time-saving features such as autofocus, rapid stage movement, and automated routines help reduce time to complete experiments, allowing high throughput, high data quality, and improved experimental reproducibility
• Data analysis: advanced software package for quantitative and statistical analysis

Introduction:

Perkin Elmer™ In Vivo Imaging System
