Introduction
The Olympus Slideview VS200 is a slide scanner for high-throughput digitalization of histology and fluorescence slides for archival, diagnostics, teaching, and research. It supports five imaging modes: Brightfield, Darkfield, Phase Contrast, Polarization, and Fluorescence.
The system’s automatic slide loader can hold standard slides (26 × 76 mm). Trays for even larger slides (up to 102 x 127 mm) are also available and can be purchased if there is a need. High-resolution images are converted into virtual slides through an automated high-speed scanning and tiling process.
