The TissueFAXS SL platform automatically scans up to 120 slides in brightfield and/or fluorescence mode. It is upgradable for confocal and multispectral imaging.
TissueFAXS SL systems are modular and consist of a microscope, automatic slide loader, high-end cameras, light sources and a PC with two monitors. The slide loader is equipped with three 40 slide magazines with each magazine containing 20 two-slide metal clips for a total of 120 standard slides. Alternatively, 60 double-sized (76 × 52 × 1 mm) slides can be loaded and scanned.
The process of loading is simple: the clips are magnetically gripped and moved out to the stage for scanning. This way, any contact of the slides with moving parts is prevented, safeguarding them against breakage. SL version tolerates immersion oil, so that you can use the oil immersion objectives, combining the high throughput of 120 slides and high magnification at the same time.
