Supports Efficient Digital Pathology Diagnosis

With its high-speed and quality images, the SLIDEVIEW DX VS-M1 scanner supports customers looking to adopt or currently performing digital pathology.

Stunning, fully-in-focus whole slide images: images are exceptionally flat with high resolution
Illumination made for pathology stains: the scanner’s LED light source mimics the color temperature of halogen lamps to provide the colors necessary for pathology stains
Onscreen images are like looking through the oculars: the images are displayed on a high color rendering, medical-grade monitor with automatic color calibration
Virtual slide tray mimics a physical slide book: quickly and easily arrange digital slides in a way that’s familiar to pathologists
View slides and patient information on one screen: the system easily integrates with your lab information system (LIS)
Securely share you slides: easily share slide images with other pathologists and experts

Built for Busy Pathology Labs

The SLIDEVIEW DX VS-M1 system is scalable—for example, using two scanners would allow you to process 300 slides at a time—and configurable, so you can focus on speed or higher image quality.

Load slides smoothly and safely: slides are loaded vertically to reduce the chance of dropping them
Easy to operate while standing: the controls are easily accessible from a large touch screen
Fast: scan more than 80 slides per hour with no time-consuming focus mapping
Fewer rescans: the system’s AI identifies tissue on the slide to help make sure that all the tissue areas are scanned
Configure the scanner based on your preferences: three scan modes enable you to focus on speed, accuracy, or faintly stained/uneven samples

Control Your Digital Pathology Scanner

The Evident Management Portal (EMP) is used to configure and maintain our scanners. The EMP can be connected to multiple scanners in a laboratory. It enables you to control who has access to the scanner and EMP, set scanner configurations, such as barcode parsing and the default scan mode, and provides diagnostic information, including active status, instrument logs, audit logs, and scanner usage statistics.

Pathologists

Microscope-Quality Images Onscreen

Make your diagnoses with the convenience of digital slide images that you can have confidence in. The SLIDEVIEW DX VS-M1 system uses a dedicated objective lens based on our award-winning X Line™ series to capture images with exceptional flatness and a high resolution, enabling seamless stitching and stunning whole slide images that are fully in focus.

Color Reproduction Designed for Pathology

The X Line™ UPLXAPO extended apochromat objective provides wide homogeneous image flatness and an extended range of chromatic aberration compensation. The objective is paired with our high color rendering True Color LED light source to provide the true-to-life color reproduction necessary for H&E, IHC, and special stains.

View Pathology Slides on a Medical-Grade Monitor

The images are displayed on a high color rendering, medical-grade monitor which has sRGB wide gamut coverage tailored for digital pathology images that supports correctness and stability of colors over time. You can be confident that the slide images on screen are as close as possible to what you would see looking through the oculars.

Image management system with virtual slide tray display

Efficient Pathology Diagnosis Workflow

The SLIDEVIEW DX VS-M1 software was developed in collaboration with pathologists, so its layout and functionality will be intuitive and the system easy to learn. A virtual slide tray mirrors handling a physical slide on the holder for simple, familiar slide management.

Integrates with Your Lab Information System

The system’s software integrates with your lab information system (LIS) to display the slide and patient information in one convenient window to help you remain focused on making a diagnosis. View images from the virtual slide tray and easily make measurements and annotations on the digital slide image.

Convenient collaboration functions

Remote Collaboration

Convenient collaboration tools enable you to securely share slide images with other pathologists or experts no matter where they are located. Users can access the data from any computer without installing software.

Fast, Efficient Digital Pathology Workflow

The scanner’s controls are easily accessible from its large touch screen, which is designed to be used while standing. This makes it easy for you to configure the scanner’s controls and walk away.

Easily load the slides into the rack and then place them into the scanner. The slides are loaded vertically rather than horizontally to reduce the chance of dropping them.

The system walks you through the steps to start scanning. When the scan is complete, you can check the quality of the digital slides using the same touch screen and deliver them directly to the pathologist at the push of a button.

Checking a digital slide

High-Speed Slide Scanning

The scanner’s fast, more than 80 slides per hour scan speed enables slides to be quickly digitized for faster delivery to the pathologist. During the scan, the system’s real-time autofocus enables you to skip the time-consuming focus mapping phase for faster scans.

Reliable Digital Pathology AI

The system’s advanced AI* automatically identifies the tissue on the slide so that only the tissue is scanned. This speeds up the scanning processes and minimizes the need for rescans caused by undetected tissue.

*Machine learning-based software with regulatory framework.

Properly detected samples

Flexible Digital Pathology Imaging

The system has three flexible scan modes that enable you to tailor the scan based on your lab’s priorities.

Speed scan mode uses a fast real-time autofocus to acquire quality images quickly.
The focus scan mode uses a single-point autofocus to create a detailed focus map before scanning, improving accuracy.
In manual setting mode, you have the option to individually set each focus point, helping make faintly stained or uneven specimens in focus.

IT Technicians

Easily Onboard and Manage Your Digital Pathology Solution

The software easily integrates with your existing lab information system (LIS) and supports various healthcare network protocols, including HL7. The DICOM* format enables compatibility with existing PACS- or DICOM-based image management systems. The system has HIPAA and NIST data security features, encryption, and central account management.

IT technicians can use the system’s central account manager to remotely view scanner system faults and errors, as well as download reports.

*Optional software solution.
