Good information! It will be something exciting for us since it is a new feature in the lab. Hopefully the excitement will linger for many years to come.

Thanks again,
Kimberly

It's actually been awhile since I did the scanning myself, but I think it was something like 40-50 or so slides an hour at 20X magnification.  40X takes considerably longer.  We now have transferred scanning to another section, so I'm rusty for sure.  I remember that the system takes a really quick pre-snap, and makes you add focus points, and select areas to scan/exclude.  This was kind of tedious, but easy.  If you're buying a brand new scanner, I imagine the process has been made soooo much better by now, and the scanning much faster.   

Thanks, 

Brian

Hi Brian,

Thank you for the recommendation. I will definitely look for this one as it may also be more cost effective since it has been out for a while. How long does it take to scan slides?

We have the Leica Aperio AT2 here.  Works pretty well.  I understand that newer scanners are a whole lot faster than what we have here; ours is about 6-7 years old now.  

Thanks,

Hi,

I am interested in purchasing a slide scanner for my lab so we will have the ability to share slides between sites. Can someone suggest a good scanner, make/model?
