Overview

Zeiss Axioscan 7 combines high speed digitization and outstanding image quality plus an unrivaled variety of imaging modes in a fully automated and easy to operate system. ZEISS Axioscan 7 has a 100 slide capacity and is able to produce digitized slides at dramatically improved speed, thanks to hardware components designed for extended, uninterrupted operation.

Highlights:

• Fully motorized condenser, powerful light sources and sensitive cameras ensure 24/7 scan performance, whether you have many similar slides or mixed applications to process.
• ZEISS Axioscan 7 allows rapid switching among fluorescence, brightfield and polarization scanning modes, with the highest quality fast and gentle imaging fully available to you in each of these modes.
• ZEN Slidescan is integrated within the powerful ZEN imaging software, which provides access to numerous additional processing and analysis functions. 
• Axioscan 7 employs swift and reproducible LED illumination, fast filter wheels, and a sophisticated filter concept to efficiently separate a broad range of fluorescence channels.
