The automation of whole histology slide microscopic examination by producing high-quality mosaics is possible at faster scan rates through software and hardware with predictive focus.
This software supports all microscopy imaging methods, including fluorescence, and scans can be performed at any chosen objective lens magnification.
For example, a scan of an entire cover slip with a 10x objective will require the capture of some 600 individual camera frames and will generate a final image of 750 megapixels in 90s.
This fast scanning technology adds a new dimension to microscopy, allowing the user to relate the full resolution detail within the specimen to the overall structure in a way that aids understanding, analysis and diagnosis.
