The NanoZoomer RS is an economic slide scanner capable of high speed, high sensitivity, and high resolution. It offers many features such as:
scanning of standard-size (26 mm x 76 mm) and double-size (52 mm x 76 mm) slides slide tray can keep 6 standard-size or 3 double-size slides easy-to-use scanner software three scanning modes: x10 (0.92 µm/pixel), x20 (0.46 µm/pixel), x40 (0.23 µm/pixel) high-speed scanning (same as NanoZoomer HT) superb image quality (same as NanoZoomer HT) wide range of software solutions Z-stack feature fluorescence as option

Easy-to-use scanner

The NanoZoomer RS is fully equipped for both routine and research work. The NanoZoomer RS is equipped with an easy-to-use and powerful software which has an intuitive graphical interface.

Slide tray for six or three slides

The convenient slide tray can accept up to six standard-size (26 mm x 76 mm) or
three double-size (52 mm x 76 mm) slides.

x10, x20 and x40 scanning modes in one system

The NanoZoomer RS includes x10 (0.92 µm/pixel), x20 (0.46 µm/pixel) and x40 (0.23 µm/pixel) scanning modes. They can be easily switched in the software by a click of the mouse.

High-speed scanning and high-quality digital images

The NanoZoomer RS scans slides quickly and produces high-quality digital images. Scanning a slide in the standard x20 mode takes less than 1 minute for 1 cm2 scanned area. The digital images produced are true 24-bits RGB images with full-pixel resolution in each channel--courtesy of TDI (time-delay-and-integration) technology combined with a high-grade 3-CCD digital camera. This combination of technologies gives a significant increase in image quality compared to color cameras based on mosaic or RGB filtering (see our color imaging section).

Wide range of software solutions

We can offer a wide range of software solutions adapted to your applications. Whatever the field (education, image analysis, telepathology, TMA, toxicology, diagnoses, etc.), we can help you to decide the best solution for your application.

Z-stack feature on whole slide

Use your PC like a real microscope. The Z-stack function, a unique feature of the NanoZoomer scanners, allows multilayer scanning at different focal planes of a specimen on a whole slide. Prior to slide scanning choose the number of planes and the spacing between each plane and then navigate between planes with the image viewer as if you were adjusting the fine or coarse focus screw of a microscope.

The Z-stack feature is ideal for cytology (smears, cellular thin layers) or morphology studies (histology, rare events search, etc.), which requires obtaining the maximum information on each specific cell. The Z-stack function is also a powerful tool for brain mapping, TMA, any difficult samples with a wide variation of Z-position, and fluorescence studies.

Fluorescence option

In addition to standard brightfield applications you can upgrade your NanoZoomer RS system with the NanoZoomer Fluorescence Unit option to scan fluorescence-labeled samples. This unit together with the NanoZoomer's 3-CCD TDI camera allows the observation of low-light-level fluorescence tissue samples at high resolution.
