Purpose-designed for oil immersion applications, the Aperio ScanScope OS from Nikon Instruments creates high-resolution digital slides of blood smears, bone marrow, Gram stain, and other specimens requiring high magnification. An area of 10 x 10mm is scanned in approximately 20 minutes, creating true-colour digital slides in multiple formats (TIFF, composite web slide). Ideal for haematopathology and microbiology, the ScanScope OS high-numerical aperture oil immersion objectives create digital slides with the same detail as conventional glass slides. Unlike glass slides, however, digital slides do not break or degrade, and are easy to store, manage and share. ScanScope OS uses patented linear-array methodology which provides high-quality, high-resolution digital slides.
