Description
ZEISS Axioscan 7 is a high-performance automated slide scanning system (digital slide scanner) designed for fast and reproducible digitization of microscopic samples in whole slide imaging (WSI) format. The system combines high scanning speed, consistent image quality, and application flexibility within a fully automated platform.
Axioscan 7 supports multiple contrast modes, including brightfield, fluorescence, and polarization, enabling work with a wide range of samples—from standard histological sections to multiplex fluorescence applications. Integrated with ZEN Slidescan, the system ensures efficient creation, management, and analysis of digital slides within a unified workflow.
