The scanner allows z-stack scanning capability and 3D virtual slide production with its motorised camera and objective changer enabling view ranges of 4x, 10x, 20x and 40x through its image viewer and online image viewing capability.

The algorithm selection of the scanner integrates it with the advanced IHC multiplexing image analysis software and support standard image formats including BigTIFF, JP-2000, DICOM, CZI and PSB with no restriction on image size.

The system also recognises FCS and ICE export file formats compatible with third party flow and image cytometry.

Other features of the OptraSCAN system are signal optimisation, multi-level cell segmentation, complete feature extraction and quantitative analysis for each imaged channel with better export capability.
