Always in focusThe revolutionary dynamic focus accelerates the scanning process of the Leica SCN400 slide scanner and provides a pin sharp image of great detail. Save time by eliminating time-consuming pre-mapping. This patented focusing method minimizes the risk of failed scans – and delivers reliable and precise high resolution images. |
From overview to detail, quickly with one scanThe slide scanner provides images of up to 40x magnification – with an average scanning time of 100 seconds for 20x magnification. Traditional (26x76 mm), double (52x76 mm) and now extra large Jumbo (113x76 mm) slides can be scanned on one system. |
Efficient high-throughput scanningThe Leica SL801 is a 384-slide capacity autoloader for the SCN400 slide scanner, which can be easily upgraded in the field, without the need of buying a second system. Large volumes of slides can be scanned under fully automated operation and uninterrupted slide processing. Use different scan protocols to optimize scanning of multiple sample types within a single batch procedure. |
