A new Olympus SLIDEVIEW VS200 research slide-scanner was recently installed in BIRU. The system will complement the MetaSystems VSlide, which is very heavily used with little capacity to support new users. The VS200 has a slide loader and both colour and monochrome cameras available together with a range of objective lenses. The software is easy to use. Polarised light, phase contrast and darkfield are new capabilities that the VS200 brings to the BIRU. Initial feedback from users has been very positive.

BIRU staff member Ratish Kurian is in charge of the new system. Feel free to contact Ratish by email at r.kurian@auckland.ac.nz to arrange a demo of the new system.
