TissueScopeTM
Fast and Versatile Slide Scanner Designed for Neuroscience Research
The TissueScope, engineered in collaboration with Huron Digital Pathology, is a fast and versatile whole slide scanner that is super-charged with MBF Bioscience big data handling technology to easily stream high quality image data to quantitative analysis with all of MBF Bioscience software.
Details
- Brightfield slide scanner that handles up to twelve, 1”x 3” (25mm x 75mm) slides, six, 2” x 3” (50mm x 75mm) slides or any single slide up to 6” x 8” (150mm x 200mm)
- Handles large specimens, such as human brain sections, that most other scanners can’t handle.
- For 60 micron section, slides containing an entire mouse brain can be mounted in a single tray
- Fast: <1 minute per slide (15mm x 15mm section at 20x)
- High Resolution: 0.2 at 40x, 0.4 at 20x with optical resolution of 0.75na
- Versatile: 2D and 3D slide scanning
- Easy to Use: Automatic tissue detection and automatic focus
- Easy to Manage: Image-based barcode reading
- Big Data Handling: File format optimized for streaming with Biolucida image server and for analysis
- Optional slide loader capabilities to easily scan up to 120 standard or 60 double-wide slides, or even larger slides up to 6" x 8"

Whole Slide Scanning
Acquiring high-resolution digital images of histology slides is easier than ever with the ongoing advancements in microscope image acquisition hardware and software. Resource consumption from digital/virtual slides is minimal and the benefits are numerous. Whole slide scanning provides numerous benefits to scientists such as the ability to:
- Create digital archives of tissue specimens that never degrade and don't require special physical storage
- Preserve fluorescence indefinitely
- Minimize photodamage from repeated microscopic imaging
- Store, transfer, and share whole slide image data that you can access from any computer system
- Analyze large 2D and 3D image data files on a dedicated workstation separate from the microscope
- Perform essential data analyses such as stereology for counting cells and quantifying volumes
- Develop image content for scientific publications and presentations
