The Olympus VS200 slide scanner was obtained through an NIH Shared Instrumentation Grant and has been installed in D11-35. Assisted scanning will be performed by MPC staff and charged on a per-slide cost basis. Unassisted use can be performed following training. The VS200 produces fast scans at 20x or 40x in both brightfield and fluorescence modes. A slide tower can hold up to 210 regular-sized slides. Large format slides (2″ x 3″) can also be scanned and extended focus scanning of 40um thick sections. Additional software will be installed soon on an offline workstation with Olympus software for VSI image conversion to ome.tiff or other formats, 3D deconvolution, and deep neural network features. Contact Ann Fu for additional information about slide scanning services or Olympus about their VS200.
