Slide Scanners

The Future of Medical Microscopy!

The traditional microscopy workflow which is based on the combination of the glass slide and a microscope is struggling to match the requirements of modern health care.

The constraints are mainly due to the obsolete way of acquiring and processing of information lying in the tissue or smear samples.

A very simple yet effective parallel can be drawn with photography. If we compare the state of the still camera market of today and, for example 5-10 years ago, one thing is obvious: digital photography has swept across the board. The digital camera not only offers identical or even better image quality than a film camera but it is also faster, more convenient and gives the user the opportunity to edit, print and share the photos very easily.

The same process is happening in microscopy today. We are very proud that MICRON OPTICAL is one of the initiators of the change to virtual microscopy in Ireland. The benefits of the newer range of high quality scanners mean that the resolution of the images seen on our systems outperform anything else on the market.

The ability to access full digital slides in brightfield and multi-channel fluorescence from anywhere in the world at any time of the day opens up a new dawn of medical remote imagary!
