FLUORESCENCE
SLIDE
SCANNING WITH MVSLIDE

Several benefits are associated to whole slide imaging of microscopy slides, such as the possibility to view and assess a complete specimen or sample at the required magnification, the chance to easily share the digital scans with colleagues or remote experts or the option to create high-quality images for publication.

With regards to fluorescent slides, their digitization comes with an additional specific advantage: by digitizing the slides, the quality of the stain is preserved. The issue of bleaching of the original glass slides over time can thus be circumvented.

Easy and affordable fluorescence slide scanning

While automated devices allowing for fluorescent slide scanning are highly expensive, mvSlide enables cost-effective fluorescence slide scanning by relying on manual workflows. With the Fluorescence Edition of the Microvisioneer mvSlide software, fluorescent slides can be scanned at low costs and high quality with the existing microscope equipment.

With the mvSlide software, the images are smoothly stitched in real time by moving the stage, and thus a seamless zoomable whole slide image is being created. Lengthy and inconvenient manual stitching of single images will not be necessary anymore.

Depending on the hardware, both single channel as well as multi-channel fluorescence imaging is possible.
