[Histonet] digital imaging

Sat Jul 1 14:19:02 CDT 2006

We use the Aperio system extensively, we have 5 of them and have scan thousands and thousands of pictures as all the colorectal cancer clinical trial slides are scanned. We use it also for routine remote reporting in Neuropathology and scanning for research, education etc. 

You can see the public side of what we do under http://www.virtualpathology.leeds.ac.uk/

What do you want to do with it? 

My collaborators in Amsterdam have the system from Zeiss as it can also scans fluorescent stainings. If you are interested in that system, I could give you their email.

Roger

We have been looking at several whole slides scanning systems, but have
not purchased one yet, they are somewhat pricy ranging from $80,000.00
up.  I'm aware of several

Aperio - I have worked with this unit and its nice, it scans in strips
rather than tiles like most units currently on the market
Dako - scans in tiles, but I think that it has more analysis software
built in
Chromovision -
Applied Imaging
D.metrix - new technology that uses an array of 80 lenses to scan the
image.

PROBLEMS with it.   It's about 1/2 the cost of the xylene we were purchasing and
the health hazards are much lower.  Also, we have a CBG Biotech recycler and get
great results from this instrument.  If you'd like more information, contact me
direct.
