OLYMPUS-VS200

Olympus Research Slide Scanner VS200

PT Wadya Prima Mulia as the Exclusive Distributor for Evident-Olympus in Indonesia, provides VS200 Research Slide Scanner and other products.

Easily analyze, share, and archive your data with the SLIDEVIEW VS200 research slide scanner. Designed to capture high-resolution images of your slides for quantitative analysis, the system enables you to make the most of the information your slides have to offer.

Outstanding Image Quality for Quantification

Better Resolution and Flatness

  • Uses X Line high-performance objectives to deliver images with no stitching artifacts or patchwork effect.
  • An optimized optical beam path provides more homogenous illumination.
  • High-power True Color LED matches the spectral performance of reference halogen light sources, so brightfield stains like purple, cyan, and pink are correctly represented, imaged, and rendered.
  • Fluorescence illuminator with a fly-eye lens uniformly distributes light for bright, even images.
  • Optional optical sectioning device produces high-contrast images, especially for thick samples.

Flexible for Many Applications

Supports Multiple Hardware Options

The VS200 slide scanner is a highly flexible system that supports various slide sizes, different objectives, the SILA optical sectioning device, oil dispenser, cameras, loaders, and LED/laser light sources with multiple filter sets.

Supports Multiple Observation Methods

The VS200 supports brightfield, darkfield, polarization, phase contrast, and fluorescence, with the possibility to scan a sample using multiple techniques at the same time.

Flexible Software Solutions

The VS200 software supports offline analysis, deep learning, 3D deconvolution, and batch conversion to standard file formats. It also supports the NIS-SQL database for data management and the DICOM format for easy integration into a lab information management system (LIMS).


Achieve More in Less Time

  • Loader holds up to 35 sample trays with a maximum capacity of 210 26 × 76 mm (1 × 3 in.) slides
  • Robotics quickly and safely loads and unloads trays while coordinating with the focus and scan unit for fast acquisition
  • Integrated barcode reader automatically captures and records slide information

Simplified and Powerful Workflow

  • Simple user interface—choose expert mode to customize the system’s settings or quick mode where the software optimizes the settings for you
  • Save and recall settings to speed up repetitive workflows and standardize operations
  • Settings can be saved as projects and shared among multiple users
  • TruAI technology—post-processing deep learning enables accurate segmentation of morphological features on a sample

Reliable Data for Many Applications

The flexibility of five imaging modes and outstanding Olympus X Line objectives make the VS200 slide scanner a solution for many applications.

Accurate Focus at All Magnifications

  • Z-focus is 4X more precise than our previous slide scanner and offers higher readjustment accuracy with linear encoders
  • Automatic sample detection helps determine the scan area for faster imaging while the autofocus improves the automated stitching function 
  • Design minimizes vibrations for better imaging stability
  • Manually edit the sample mask and modify the automatically detected sample mask

Supports Glass Slides and Plates

  • Simple-to-use slide tray enables you to mix 26 × 76 mm (1 × 3 in.), 52 × 76 mm (2 × 3 in.), 76 × 102 mm (3 × 4 in.), and 102 × 127 mm (4 × 5 in.) slides on the same batch scan
  • A RFID system enables the unit to automatically detect trays, the number of slides, and the size of the slides

The Power of TruAI Deep-Learning Technology

  • Deep learning enables faint samples or morphological features on a sample to be accurately identified and scanned, saving time and effort
  • Target regions, such as pancreas islets, can be accurately segmented and differentiated from erythrocytes
