Digital Slide Scanner for Automated Image Capture

The Axio Scan.Z1 digital slide scanner from Carl Zeiss Microscopy is an automated microscope system which allows researchers to digitalize fixed tissue sections and cytologic specimens in brightfield and fluorescence. The self-calibrating slide scanner captures the entire specimen area of the microscope slide – including the edge.

Up to 100 microscope slides can be digitalized at a time. For fluorescence applications, filter wheels switch wavelengths in just 50 ms. Sensitive cameras and maximally corrected optics achieve optimal image quality. The Colibri.2 UV-free LED light source and a focus finder with oblique illumination, the Ring Aperture Contrast, ensure maximum protection for the sample.
