Zeiss Axioscan 7 - Slide Scanner
The Axioscan 7 is an automated slide scanner for brightfield, polarized light and fluorescence microscopy. Up to 100 slides can be loaded and scanned with 10x/0.45, 20x/0.45 Pol, 20x/0.8 or 40x/0.95 objectives.
High-quality virtual slides are created, that can be navigated, zoomed in, or shared. They can also be used for high throughput quantitative analysis.
