Virtual Microscopy

Olympus has introduced its dotSlide 2.1 virtual microscopy system, offering advanced functionality with high image quality. The Olympus dotSlide 2.1 system is based on the upright BX51 microscope. The peltier cooled dotSlide camera ensures high resolutions with fast frame rates and high sensitivity. In combination with a PC-based workstation, slides can be scanned and uploaded with great ease. The standard dotSlide 2.1 MD (manual) system is suitable for fluorescent samples and allows slides and any meta-data to be manually loaded. Additionally, users based at different locations are able to use the secure networking system to combine their results into a single database.
