PathScan Enabler IV  Microscope Slide Scanner for Histology with slide

Please note that this instrument will not replace a microscope and digital camera. It is designed to compliment those instruments by doing something they cannot. Namely, capture an ENTIRE histological sample without having to stitch it together. The resulting picture will have the image quality of a 5.0x objective.

Conventional microscopes equipped with low power objectives and digital cameras typically cannot capture samples larger than 6 mm in diameter. The PathScan Enabler IV captures specimens as large as 36 mm in diameter! Better yet, there is no uneven illumination or out of focus sample edges, as can be the case with traditional low power image capture techniques.

The PathScan Enabler IV includes: scanner, power supply, USB connecting cable, installation disks, carrying case, and unique patented histology slide holder for two (2) 1 x 3 inch histology slides.
