The Bioimaging Facility at IST Austria is hosting a demonstration of the Olympus VS200, another high-throughput slide scanning system.

Benefits of this system:

  • Flexibility to use dry, silicone oil or oil objectives
  • Automatic oil dispenser
  • Possibility to manually adjust and place focus points
  • Separate slide holder for 210 slides that can be (un)loaded during imaging
  • Priority scanning: stops batch scan to image important single scan and resumes batch scan afterwards

 


DEMO SCHEDULE:  The system will be installed on the 19.07.2021 and subsequently will be available for testing for two weeks until 31.07. in Lab building West (room i21.U1.027)
