TissueScope: Key Features
Rich analyses
MBF Bioscience has extensive tools and experience extracting scientifically impactful measurements from whole slide images in neuroscience and pathology research.
TissueScope: Key Features
Different slide sizes? Difficult slides? No problem.
Rely on our unique tray-based slide holder to safely scan multiple slide sizes from 1” x 3” to 6” x 8”.
Have faint tissue, chipped slides, thick slides, or multiple bar codes? We can image them.
TissueScope: Key Features
Optimize your workflow with the TissueSnap preview station
The TissueSnap preview station works with our TissueScope scanners to offload time consuming tasks such as preview scanning and batch pre-processing so the scanner can work at peak throughput and performance.
