Nikon has released the Mi Macro Imaging Station, which can safely capture, annotate and measure images of fixed and unfixed tissues in the mortuary or pathology laboratory.
It offers a stable, versatile, contamination-free imaging station that can be easily operated via a touch-screen or foot-pedal.
It creates an invaluable point of reference.
Gross tissue images can enhance the interpretation and understanding of subsequent tissue sections and provide the first step in capturing an entire pathology case history.
When equipped with the Nikon DS-Fi1 digital camera, expertise in photography is not required.
A simple-to-use software GUI and the choice of two imaging modes (standard or publication-quality images) simplifies successful image capture.
Integral overhead LED lighting creates perfect lighting conditions for optimal images.
This ensures specimens remain cool throughout imaging, preventing damage.
The Mi features wipeable user interfaces - including a touch screen, keyboard, mouse, barcode reader, foot-pedal or graphic tablet - that help reduce contamination.
The Mi can be supplied with a PC and can be used with the laboratory network system and PC, without compromising the function.
Intuitive, dedicated pathology-focussed software can be integrated with Nikon's NIS-Elements Documentation (D) to generate a host of advanced analysis, measurement and reporting functions.
Nikon's NIS-Elements software packages unite all aspects of the digital pathology imaging environment.
They integrate microscopes, cameras and peripherals with powerful archiving and image-analysis functions to simplify and accelerate pathology workflow.
NIS-Elements D is ideal for pathology and enables rapid image-capture, annotation, object measurement and counting, database functions and report generation.
