Fluorescence and Brightfield Imaging with ZEISS Axioscan 7
The ZEISS Axioscan 7 is the latest technological enhancement at Wax-it, offering cutting-edge features for high-throughput and high-resolution imaging of histological and cytological samples. This slide scanner is adept at both fluorescent and brightfield microscopy:
The ZEISS Axioscan 7 also incorporates powerful image analysis software with capabilities like multi-round fluorescent staining alignment, deconvolution, and machine learning-based quantification for both immunofluorescence and brightfield images.
Brightfield Whole Slide Scanning with Leica Aperio AT2
The Leica Aperio AT2, renowned for its use in clinical laboratories, features color-calibrated monitors that enable high-throughput brightfield imaging. This scanner can digitize hundreds of slides per session, capturing images perfectly suited for a wide range of tissue morphologies and stain types, including H&E, special stains, and IHC stains. The Aperio ImageScope software facilitates semi-automated quantification techniques such as positive pixel count, average positive pixels, and total staining intensity.
Fluorescence Whole Section Scanning with Leica THUNDER Imager
The Leica THUNDER Imager is an inverted widefield microscope that excels in capturing fluorescent images with up to five channels simultaneously. Optimized acquisition settings ensure the perfect balance between workflow speed and image quality, using 20x, 40x, 63x or 100x objectives. The THUNDER Imager’s features include Relative Focus Correction and Z-stack imaging to visualize feature distribution across the entire sample, effectively removing background noise and enhancing image clarity.
Quantification and Analysis
Our imaging team at Wax-it excels in extracting detailed data from both fluorescence and brightfield images, tailored to your project goals. This includes quantification methods like cell count, intensity, colocalization, feature, and tissue area analysis. Advanced software tools streamline these processes, providing rapid and precise measurements to enhance your research insights.
Secured Slide Sharing
Wax-it Histology Services ensures secure and seamless collaboration. Once slides are scanned, the images are uploaded to our secure server, allowing effortless sharing with clients and pathologists worldwide. This secure access system allows clients to download images at their convenience, no matter where they are located, fostering efficient and effective research collaborations.
