SCANNING WITH MVSLIDE
Compared to many standard pathology specimens, hematological and microbiological samples often need to be displayed at high magnification and oil immersion to capture a sufficient level of details. Only a few automated solutions allowing the acquisition of oil immersion based whole slide images (WSI) are available, normally at very high costs due to the high complexity.
High-quality manual oil immersion scanning at moderate cost
With the Microvisioneer manual scanning approach using the mvSlide software, flexible oil-based scanning across 40X, 60X and 100X oil objectives is practical, easy and clearly more affordable than any automated solution. As the manual scanning approach is essentially based on the integration of a traditional manual microscope, high acquisition costs become obsolete.
With the mvSlide software, hematopathologists and microbiologists can easily upgrade their existing microscopes to manual scanners for hematology slide scanning or microbiology slide scanning.
Based on the optical quality of the microscope and the advanced stitching and software control coming with mvSlide, high-quality digital scans of blood smears, bone marrow aspirates, gram stains and other samples requiring oil immersion can be created manually at exceptionally low costs.

Managing scan time at high magnification oil scanning
High magnification slide scanning with oil immersion takes more time than at lower magnifications. To save scanning time, scanning of representative regions of interest is often sufficient and recommended.
​
Further, the unique Microvisioneer "Freeze-Mode" allows to scan multiple selected sub-sections of a glass slide into one virtual slide, creating a representative image while saving time. To learn more about the "Freeze-Mode", have a look at the respective use case.
