Routine pathology, student education, research, diagnosis, remote consultation, online case libraries, toxicology studies, image analysis, TMA, .... Whatever your application, speak with us to see what solutions we can offer to you!

The NanoZoomer is supplied with a powerful yet easy-to-use control software (NDP.scan), as well as slick image viewer (NDP.view) for local or remote image access. A server software (NDP.serve) also can be offered to archive and store your data, organize it together with metadata (such as comments) in  a database, and make the slides available over a network, including the Internet if desired. Moreover, the NDP virtual slide image format (NDPi) is well documented and we offer all the tools needed if someone intends to use third-party software for working with these images.

Contact your local sales representative to discuss your project and how we can help you find an appropriate solution.

Education and Training

Virtual microscopy allows viewing of virtual slides by a large numbers of students simultaneously. The big advantages are that it's possible that all students view exactly the same slide at the same time, and that they can focus their attention on the slide contents itself instead of fiddling around with glass slides and old microscopes.

Diagnosis

The interpretation and quantification of disease state by examining a tissue section depends on the knowledge and skill of an individual pathologist and is therefore inherently affected by a certain level of subjectivity. Virtual microscopy can help improve on this in a variety of ways such as easy consultation (without any need to physically transport the slides) and it also opens the road to introducing software-assisted methods for certain tasks which will become important in future.

Tissue Micro Array (TMA)

Combine the Nanozomer with powerful and innovative TMA software. Automatically segment TMA slides into the cores, assist with manual, semi-automatic or even automatic scoring, link the individual scores with the patient ID in a database, perform data mining, assessment consolidation and statistics in huge databases, and so forth. There is hardly another field where your investment will return benefit so quickly in terms of saved manual working time.

Image Analysis

Quantify nuclear, cellular or membrane markers. Count cells, nuclei or more complex structures. Use powerful morphometry tools. Perform high-throughput toxicology by combining the speed of the NanoZoomer with sophisticated analysis software. The solutions are as varied as the tasks. Consult with us for discussing your individual needs!

Archiving

The physical bulk of large physical slide collections have created massive storage and accessibility problems. The creation of virtual slides which can be stored locally on computer systems allows them to be easily retrieved for retrospective studies and makes it possible for glass slides to be moved more quickly to storage facilities located on site or elsewhere.
