u core facilities have an open access user policy, and the instrument will be operated by individual customers as self-service. Therefore, instrumentation and software should be easy to use and meet the requirements of users from different research areas. The instrument will be used primarily for life science imaging. The microscope slide scanner provides a functional system for scanning contrasted samples on microscope slides and viewing the acquired images. The scanner is specifically designed for research and not for clinical purposes. The instrument holds brightfield, phase contrast or comparable contrast enhancing technique, dark field, HiLo laser speckle-based structured illumination optical sectioning for fluorescence, and polarization modes for digitalizing whole microscope slides and has an option for capturing Z-stacks. A minimum of six fluorescence channels allows multiplexing, and separate high resolution RGB color and monochrome cameras for brightfield and fluorescence imaging, respectively. A relatively large range optical zooming capability is achieved with air objectives without the requirement of immersion objectives. Slides are loaded in the scanner within multi-slide trays that can be filled manually. Multiple trays can be imaged in a single run. There are trays for different sized microscope slides available.
