Knowledge-Based Firm in Iran Makes Slide Scanner for Microscopy
“We are active in the field of producing slide scanners. These devices include a camera and software that are installed on a microscope. Using this system, users can produce high-quality, very large-sized images of microscopic samples. These digital images allow users to examine the details of the sample in detail and share them with others. They can also provide others with the ability to view the slides online by creating a QR Code,” Mohammad Javad Zamani, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“Inspired by the ideas available in the market, we have produced a completely indigenous product that is half the price of similar foreign products. Of course, we have not had access to any source code and have designed and developed our product only based on the existing ideas,” he added.
“While conventional cameras are only able to take a picture of what is seen in the eyepiece of a microscope, our system allows for a single, large image of the entire sample," Zamani said, adding that educational centers, medical diagnostic laboratories (both public and private), and medical universities are among the main customers of their products.
A Microscope Slide Scanner, also known as Digital Pathology Scanner or Digital Histology Slide Scanner, produces quick, reliable and high-resolution images of a glass slide. Pathologists, histologists, biologists, hematologists, vet experts or medical professionals now have the ability to scan single or often multiple slides. They can upload these images onto a network, iCloud store for remote access and collaboration among colleagues immediately or within a few minutes. Features may include remote control, real-time viewing, sharing, commenting, measurements, expert notes, reports, and many advanced software integration.
A Digital Pathology Scanning System may provide automated tissue slide imaging, counting and measurement for both fixed or live-cell assays. A microscopy system for slide scanning have modes for fluorescence, phase-contrast, polarizing and darkfield imaging. All slide scanners work for a standard size 1″x3″ (25x75mm) and some for double size 2″x3″ (50mm x75mm), either glass or plastic slides with/without coverslips.
