[Histonet] Need a Slide Scanner

[Glover, Kimberly]

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your help with my search. It sounds like I will need to use a high resolution camera if there are no options for a combined system or either select 2 systems.

No, it won't accommodate that. I'm not sure any will. It would take a long time to scan a slide at that magnification. You may be better off with individual pictures for that.

Hi Tim,

Will the Mikroscan be good for oil immersion slides also?

If you only do small batches the Mikroscan is great.  The Philips is very expensive and designed for large batch high-throughput. 

You only need  a scanner where you have the slides to scan. The images go on a server for viewing.  We have one at Each gross room because the slides might be viewed by pathologists anywhere in our 3 facilities.

Hi Tim,

We will send slides out throughout the day for remote diagnosis. Is the Mikroscan L5 better for this? Do we need to have a scanner at both locations?

Thanks,
Kimberly

Kimberly, all at once, or staggered throughout the day?

We have two types of scanners. 

One is a Philips high capacity that we use to scan all slides and can accommodate many 20-slide racks at once. It also requires a huge amount of server storage space. We have 4 of those with the plan to scan up to 1000 slides per day. It would do your 50 slides in about an 90 minutes total in one batch.

We also have small scanner, a Mikroscan L5 that takes up to 6 slides in a tray that we use to scan frozen sections for remote diagnosis. It is good for random use all day in the gross room We have one at each of our three gross rooms.

Tim,

That is still to be determined. It will start as a small volume, maybe 20-50 slides a day just to collaborate.

Kimberly, how many slides will you be scanning daily?

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?
