specimens simultaneously via simple server access,
regardless of time and location—making it an ideal
innovation to support smooth hands-on microscope
training, Q&A sessions, and other forms of education in
working and academic environments alike.
Virtual slides can be archived to a database, enabling

network-based remote retrieval for use in consultations
and other purposes. All slides are stored at high
resolution and participants can even synchronize
elements such as observation area to facilitate efficient
analysis and discussion.
A Solid Choice for Next-generation Education,
Rapid and Accurate Communication, Case Sharing,
and Large Specimen Observation
Because the VS120 creates virtual slides in ultra-high
definition, it is ideal for occasions when slides need to
be shared but cannot be reproduced, such as when

and Other Fields
specimens are rare or fluorescing, for example. Sharing
virtual slides also eliminates the problems of damage
and fading, while intuitive software enables multiple
virtual slides to be stitched together—enabling the
creation of large images for specimens such as brain
slices from small animals, while maintaining a high level
of uniformity with exceptional detail.

can be created in minimal time and the objective can be
switched across a range of 2x to 40x, allowing virtual slides to
be created to match the specific purpose at hand or the
sample under observation..
■ View Full and Loupe Images on the Same Screen
Both the entire image and a zoomed-in region can be
displayed on the same screen, making it easy to pinpoint the
Image capture across a range of depths
■ 3D Virtual Slide Production (Z Stack Function)
3D virtual slides can be produced by specifying attributes
such as depth for multiple areas, range, number of slides, and
magnification. Depth can also be changed by scrolling the
mouse during viewing, making it easy to ascertain depth at
any region of interest. Such functionality is particularly
advantageous when viewing deeper specimens such as cell
clusters or cranial nerves and multiple virtual slides can be
produced for specified areas only, thus keeping file size to an
absolute minimum.
specific location on the greater specimen. The magnifying
glass can be moved to areas of interest on the greater image
to bring about a seamless change of magnification and view.
■ Annotation Function Allows Voice Data to be Saved
An innovative annotation function allows the user to save and
link text and voice data to specific regions of interest on the
slide, allowing comments and other information to be logged,
shared and repeatedly retrieved.
■ Automated Functionality Enhances Work Efficiency
An optional slide loader can automate the production of up to 100 virtual slides, adding efficiency to workflow by
saving multiple specimens at a time. Furthermore, specimen information can be automatically read using 1D and
2D barcode scanners that make it easier to organize and store information and reduce the likelihood of
accessing the wrong slides by mistake.
■ Supporting High-resolution, High-sensitivity Virtual
Fluorescent Slides
High-speed filter wheels of the optional fluorescent unit can be
installed on both the excitation and observation side, enabling
the swift production of fluorescent virtual slides with high-level
definition and resolution. Multi-colored virtual slides can also
be prepared for long-term observation, negating concerns
over fading, discoloration, and degradation.

specimens simultaneously via simple server access,
regardless of time and location—making it an ideal
innovation to support smooth hands-on microscope
training, Q&A sessions, and other forms of education in
working and academic environments alike.
Virtual slides can be archived to a database, enabling

network-based remote retrieval for use in consultations
and other purposes. All slides are stored at high
resolution and participants can even synchronize
elements such as observation area to facilitate efficient
analysis and discussion.
A Solid Choice for Next-generation Education,
Rapid and Accurate Communication, Case Sharing,
and Large Specimen Observation
Because the VS120 creates virtual slides in ultra-high
definition, it is ideal for occasions when slides need to
be shared but cannot be reproduced, such as when

and Other Fields
specimens are rare or fluorescing, for example. Sharing
virtual slides also eliminates the problems of damage
and fading, while intuitive software enables multiple
virtual slides to be stitched together—enabling the
creation of large images for specimens such as brain
slices from small animals, while maintaining a high level
of uniformity with exceptional detail.

switched across a range of 2x to 40x, allowing virtual slides to
be created to match the specific purpose at hand or the
sample under observation..

Both the entire image and a zoomed-in region can be

■ 3D Virtual Slide Production (Z Stack Function)
3D virtual slides can be produced by specifying attributes
such as depth for multiple areas, range, number of slides, and
magnification. Depth can also be changed by scrolling the
mouse during viewing, making it easy to ascertain depth at
any region of interest. Such functionality is particularly
advantageous when viewing deeper specimens such as cell
clusters or cranial nerves and multiple virtual slides can be
produced for specified areas only, thus keeping file size to an
absolute minimum.
specific location on the greater specimen. The magnifying
glass can be moved to areas of interest on the greater image
to bring about a seamless change of magnification and view.
■ Annotation Function Allows Voice Data to be Saved
An innovative annotation function allows the user to save and
link text and voice data to specific regions of interest on the
slide, allowing comments and other information to be logged,
shared and repeatedly retrieved.
■ Automated Functionality Enhances Work Efficiency
An optional slide loader can automate the production of up to 100 virtual slides, adding efficiency to workflow by
saving multiple specimens at a time. Furthermore, specimen information can be automatically read using 1D and
2D barcode scanners that make it easier to organize and store information and reduce the likelihood of
accessing the wrong slides by mistake.
■ Supporting High-resolution, High-sensitivity Virtual
Fluorescent Slides
High-speed filter wheels of the optional fluorescent unit can be
installed on both the excitation and observation side, enabling
the swift production of fluorescent virtual slides with high-level
definition and resolution. Multi-colored virtual slides can also
be prepared for long-term observation, negating concerns
over fading, discoloration, and degradation.
