Research Slide Scanner: SLIDEVIEW VS200, MTL Basic
The powerful research slide scanner from Olympus is designed to digitize glass slides and create high-resolution whole slide images (WSIs) rapidly. Scientists can see more of their slides in less time with the system's flexible features.
Since 2025 the VS200 is also available with approval under EU IVDR.
VS200 Basic system with Multi-Tray Loader is pre-configured for basic scanning and analysis of slides with:
- Motorized Multi-Tray Loader for up to 210 slides
- Includes 6 trays for 1x3" slides (6 slides pr. tray)
- Brightfield scanning (Darkfield for 10x objective)
- Objectives: 2x, 10x, 20x, and 40x
- 5 MP colour camera
- w. table, dedicated computer, and 27" monitor
This configuration can easily be upgraded with additional objectives including immersion with automatic oil dispenser, polarization, DIC, phase contrast, SILA semi-confocal system (fluorescence required), server software, and TrueAI software.
The Power to See More
Easily analyze, share, and archive your data with the SLIDEVIEW VS200 research slide scanner. Designed to capture high-resolution images of your slides for quantitative analysis, the system enables you to make the most of the information your slides have to offer.
Outstanding Image Quality for Quantification: Better Resolution and Flatness
- Uses X Line high-performance objectives to deliver images with no stitching artifacts or patchwork effect
- An optimized optical beam path provides more homogenous illumination
- High-power True Color LED matches the spectral performance of reference halogen light sources, so brightfield stains like purple, cyan, and pink are correctly represented, imaged, and rendered
- Fluorescence illuminator with a fly-eye lens uniformly distributes light for bright, even images
- Optional optical sectioning device produces high-contrast images, especially for thick samples
Achieve More in Less Time
- Loader holds up to 35 sample trays with a maximum capacity of 210 26 × 76 mm (1 × 3 in.) slides
- Robotics quickly and safely loads and unloads trays while coordinating with the focus and scan unit for fast acquisition
- Integrated barcode reader automatically captures and records slide information
Simplified and Powerful Workflow
- Simple user interface—choose expert mode to customize the system’s settings or quick mode where the software optimizes the settings for you
- Save and recall settings to speed up repetitive workflows and standardize operations
- Settings can be saved as projects and shared among multiple users
- TruAI technology—post-processing deep learning enables accurate segmentation of morphological features on a sample
Flexible for Many Applications
Supports Multiple Hardware Options: The VS200 slide scanner is a highly flexible system that supports various slide sizes, different objectives, the SILA optical sectioning device, oil dispenser, cameras, loaders, and LED/laser light sources with multiple filter sets.
Supports Multiple Observation Methods: The VS200 supports brightfield, darkfield, polarization, phase contrast, and fluorescence, with the possibility to scan a sample using multiple techniques at the same time.
Flexible Software Solutions: The VS200 software supports offline analysis, deep learning, 3D deconvolution, and batch conversion to standard file formats. It also supports the NIS-SQL database for data management and the DICOM format for easy integration into a lab information management system (LIMS).
