Betreff: [Histonet] RE: whole slide scanners

I agree with James the type of scanner you need will be dependent upon your
use cases and workload.  We have an Aperio ScanScope XT which is an 120
slide scanner and that works well for us.

I'm going to make a shameless plug for a workshop that myself, Bill DeSalvo
and Jesus Ellin will be giving at the annual meeting in Austin this year,
it's called Digital Pathology for the Histotech - A Guide to Implementation
it's an all day workshop that is on Saturday the 23rd and it will cover all
aspects of how to select a scanner, how to implement scanning, etc.  It will
be very valuable to histotechs that are already scanning and also techs that
are new to the scanning process.

The scanner you get depends on your usage and volume.  Three that I
recommend are for high volume.

Aperio,		
Good image quality,  if you need to link to study metadata Spectrum software
is great.  Recommend for chromogen. Separate scanner for fluorescence,
fluorescent scanner  only holds 5 slides at a time.  

Hamamatsu Nanozoomer,	
What we use,  we do high volume chromogen and fluorescence,  excellent for
both.  Our NanoZoomer holds 210 slides for a chromogen run.  Can load up
about 100 fluorescent slides per night,  auto focus works well.  

Philips,	
Chromogen only,  very fast scanning with high quality scans.  60 slides per
hour.

There are many others on the market for smaller workloads.

Hello All,

I am looking into the purchase of a whole slide scanner.  If anyone could
supply some recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
