Hi, I'm Lauren, a product manager at Olympus.
Today, I'll show how you can capture high resolution images of whole slides
for quantitative analysis with the Olympus SLIDEVIEW™ VS200
digital slide scanner.
A highly versatile system, the VS200 slide scanner
can expand and adapt as your research changes.
The system can be field upgraded from a simple six slide brightfield system
all the way to a 210 slide fluorescence loader system capable of oil scanning.
Thanks to this versatility and its simple workflow,
the VS200 system scans slides quickly and accurately.
After you load the slides into the RFID tagged tray,
the VS200 can scan one or all the slides in the tray in just three clicks.
If you want to customize your scan experience,
you can use Expert Mode to select up to five different observation methods.
These observation methods enable you to bring out different aspects of samples
in the same scan so you can acquire more relevant data from existing samples.
You can benefit from the specificity of fluorescence,
the color fidelity of bright field, unstained sample detection with dark field
or specialized sample detection with polarization or phase contrast.
The VS200 system can image at all.
As well as offering multiple observation methods, the slide scanner also reads
barcodes and enables you to customize the magnification settings,
sample detection and focus mapping methods.
These customizations improve the repeatability
and consistency of your projects over large slide sets.
The VS200 system is designed to be expandable so it can grow with your research needs.
For example, a loader can be added to the scanner
to increase its capacity from six 1 X 3 inch slides to 210 slides.
Other expansion possibilities include standard
or silicone oil immersion objectives, fluorescence
imaging and a wide range of sample holders to accommodate uncommon mounts,
including 2 X 3, 3 X 4 and 4 X 5 inch slides.
All these upgrade options can be done onsite to minimize downtime.
For improved image accuracy, when image stitching,
the VS200 system uses Olympus X Line™ high performance
objectives to deliver flatter images with a wide field of view
and high resolution, which are a must for whole slide imaging.
The system's automatic sample detection helps determine the scan area for faster
imaging, while the autofocus improves the automated stitching function.
These features enable the VS200 system to instantly adapt to the contours of your sample.
Using the software's deep learning module can save you time and effort on image analysis.
It automates tasks such as 3D deconvolution and segmentation,
so you get results from all the data
that is being produced with minimal intervention.
Thanks for watching.
