The project will address the integration aspects of clinical workflow and the standardisation of data storage and exchange. SECOND GENERATION SCANNER The technology: n Simplified and more robust optical path n Novel sensor with 128 line cameras integrated on one single chip n Possibility to acquire multiple layers in one scan High speed multi-layer imaging n 40x equivalence (0.25 μm/pixel) image resolution n Auto-focus integrated on same chip n Results in excellent image quality 3DPATHOLOGY STACK
