The largest
capture area of any line scanner in digital pathology is now possible with the
Leica SCN400 and SCN400 F. The latest release in Leica's Total Digital
Pathology portfolio enables the digitization of very large specimens, not
possible with any other line scanning digital pathology system.
This development provides a new level of
flexibility in digital pathology, enabling users to scan a wide range of
samples on a single system. Traditional (26 x 76 mm), double (52 x 76 mm) and
now extra-large Jumbo (113 x 76 mm) slides can all be captured in either
brightfield or fluorescence using the Leica SCN400 and SCN400 F scanners.
Existing users of the Leica SCN400 digital slide scanner range can
benefit from being able to implement large slide scanning, without any hardware
changes or physical updates to their scanners.
Dr. Donal
O'Shea, Head of Digital Pathology in Leica Microsystems says, "Line scanning in
digital pathology has, until now, been limited to single and double slides. The
introduction of extra-large slide scanning is a significant advancement for
neuroscience, toxicological pathology and anyone dealing with large tissue
sections. The cost and time saving benefits of sharing large tissue sections
digitally rather than physically is a valuable tool for our users."
Leica
Microsystems' Total Digital Pathology portfolio scanning range enables the
capture of the widest range of sample types whether brightfield, fluorescence
or FISH demonstrating Leica's drive and innovation in this market. Leica
Microsystems' broad range of interoperable Digital Pathology components
provides customers with the flexibility to choose the solution that is right
for their needs.
