The new slide scanner has been installed and is now ready for use. It has a slide feeder, which handles up to 80 slides using a robotic arm.
Special slide trays have been purchased for extra large slides to accommodate those imaging non-standard large sections such as human/sheep brain sections.
There is a special module to support imaging of tissue microarrays through automatic detection of the spots.
Fluorescence and brightfield imaging are both possible with the new system.
