The uScope Navigator application software enables you to easily capture single images or scan areas of interest.
FAQ
How fast is the uScope MXII?
We are often asked how fast the uScope scanner can scan a slide. The following video shows how long it takes to scan a coverslipe with size of around 15x15mm and process the images into a single, large deep zoom image. Note that portions of this video playback faster than reality in an effort to reduce the time required to demonstrate the actual scan speed. As you can see in the video, scanning a 15x15mm area using the 20x obj lens requires 2,775 individual images which takes 6minutes 20 seconds and creating the deep zoom requires 3 minutes, i.e total of 9:20 minutes for 2,775 images /15x15mm. In other words you can expect around 2.49 seconds per 1mmx1mm which requires 12 images of 3×4 tile.
Does the uScope MXII have a manual or motion-control stage?
The uScope MX is an automated digital microscope and includes a motion-control stage. The uScope Navigator software automatically moves to your area of interest to collect images or to scan tile sets.
What resolution is the uScope MXII?
The uScope MX is wavelength-limited. Image resolution is governed by the wavelength of the visible light utilized. Objects as small as 0.5 microns can be resolved.
Is the uScope MXII a whole slide scanner?
The uScope MXII is not considered to be a whole slide scanner but is suitable for scanning large areas of your slide.

uScopeMXII-20 Digital Microscope 20x (0.4NA) Objective
The uScopeMXII-20 digital microscope comes with a 20x/0.4NA 160mm conjugate objective. This model is suited to applications where very high depth of field is required. The uScopeMXII-20 has a wider depth of field than higher power models of the uScopeMXII. So, tissue samples and smears can be thicker with more of the image in focus. This unit is able to produce very high-quality images while browsing or scanning an area of interest.
Because of its size, the uScopeMXII is highly portable. The industry-standard USB interface makes it easy to plug in and start capturing images at work or on the road. It easily interfaces with standard desktop or laptop PCs and allows you to view and capture slide images in a wide variety of environments.
See Your Slide Immediately
Choose the Area of Interest to TileWhen you insert a slide, the uScope Navigator software immediately displays an overview image where you can select the area of interest from which to collect a set of tiles.The region of interest can be selected from the available 20mmx34mm visible slide area. Once selected, the uScope Navigator prompts you for the job name and begins tiling.
Tiling an Area of Interest
Let uScopeMX do the Hard Work
While collecting the set of tiles, the uScopeMXII auto-focuses each image in the area of interest and updates the on-screen representation as it writes the in-focus images to disk.
Navigating the Area of Interest
Would You Like to See More?
Once all tiles from an area of interest have been collected, you may click on a tile to zoom in and view that single tile, a 3×3 pattern, or a 5×5 pattern of tiles.
Using the Built-in Measurement Tools
Click & Drag to Measure Organelles
The built-in digital micrometer displays on-screen and allows you to take precise measurements anywhere within the captured image tiles. No additional reticals or optics are required for accurate image size determinations.
User-Defined Image Filter Strategies
Define an Image Enhancement Strategy
Users can combine image enhancement filters to apply to slide images. Image filter strategies may be used to visually improve the displayed image. Publication-Quality Images
Images are Saved in an Industry-Standard File Format
The uScope Navigator saves image tiles in the high-quality JPEG image file format. Files can be shared with colleagues and clients and are easily included in Word, Powerpoint, and image sharing web sites.

I am interested in getting a personal economical whole slide imager/software. I use HE Slides for pathology diagnosis and mainly need 40x magnification. I need 40x to see the detail of nuclei. I scan around 1-5 slides per day. I saw there are options to use current microscope. My Budget range is couple of thousands. Which one do you suggest?
