Outstanding Image Quality for Quantification Better Resolution and Flatness Uses X Line high-performance objectives to deliver images with no stitching artifacts or patchwork effect. An optimized optical beam path provides more homogenous illumination. High-power True Color LED matches the spectral performance of reference halogen light sources, so brightfield stains like purple, cyan, and pink are correctly represented, imaged, and rendered. Fluorescence illuminator with a fly-eye lens uniformly distributes light for bright, even images. Optional optical sectioning device produces high-contrast images, especially for thick samples.

Technician, Digital and Computational Pathology Unit
University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG)

“Within the slide scanning facility of the pathology department there was a high demand for a whole slide scanning microscope with multiple methods of illumination (brightfield, polarization, and fluorescence) and a diverse range of objectives (air and oil). The SLIDEVIEW VS200 scanner fits our needs as a day-to-day whole slide scanning system for research purposes without compromising on image quality.

High-Contrast Images without Blur

The SILA optical sectioning device quickly delivers blur-free scans of thick samples, so you can achieve widefield and section imaging with a single system.

Based on Hi-Lo microscopy, the SILA (speckle illumination acquisition) optical sectioning device produces high-contrast images free from out of focus blur. Adding the SILA hardware to a VS200 makes it especially well suited for imaging thicker samples that either normal or TruSight imaging cannot resolve effectively. The SILA device delivers real-time, blur-free scans of thick samples, so you can achieve widefield and section imaging with a single system.

Advanced Automation for More Efficient Image Acquisition

Optimized Slide Scanning Workflow

More efficient and flexible: the software is easy to set up and operate. You can upload your trained neural network and open it with the click of a button.
Reduce the volume of acquired data: TruAI technology and selective scanning prevents the system from acquiring large amounts of data from areas you don’t care about. This helps optimize data management, including storage, uploading, and image sharing.
Set it and forget it: TruAI technology is accurate, reducing the need for you to supervise the scanning. This enables you to use your time for other tasks or do scanning runs overnight or over the weekend.

Workflow-Based Solution, Including Pretrained Neural Networks

Train your own neural networks to optimize their performance for your application.
Develop neural network libraries for specific applications and share them with colleagues and collaborators.
To improve the deep-learning workflow, TruAI technology includes pretrained models for nuclei and cells, so you can skip the labeling and training steps.

Powerful Image Analysis with AI-Based Segmentation

TruAI technology offers instance segmentation analysis to simplify workflows and rapidly deliver more accurate results. The deep neural network’s performance is superior to traditional segmentation techniques, and you can develop your own neural network libraries for different applications. Once trained, the neural network can be applied with a single click and shared with collaborators.
