Scan both entire slides and selected areas of interest using objectives ranging from 20x to 100x (with or without immersion oil).
PreciPoint M8—A digital microscope and slide scanner in a single device to streamline and digitize your workflow
Key Benefits
All-in-one device
The M8 and O8 integrate seamlessly into your workflow and adapt to it, accelerating your research activities.
Live Mode
Live Mode provides the capabilities of a digital microscope. Observe your sample in real time and zoom in to view different layers and structures. The overview image helps you navigate the sample.
Instant Scan Mode
Instant Scan Mode is unique to PreciPoint. It provides a large field of view for digital scanning at the speed of a microscope. Access a 15×15 mm area in high resolution in a matter of seconds. Perform analyses, identify rare events, add annotations, take notes, and digitize everything. Generate all the reports you need.
Slide Scan Mode
Get the highest-quality scans for digitizing your microscope slides. You can scan both a selected region of interest (ROI) and the entire slide (WSI), regardless of the sample’s thickness, size, or complexity (e.g., cytological or osteological slides).
Real-Time Remote Control

Thanks to fully automated and motorized microscopes and scanners, users can access and control the system remotely, with the option of simultaneous viewing by multiple users to obtain a second opinion. High-quality images with a wide field of view are available in seconds, and users can view different layers by manually adjusting the focal plane. Remote control is possible from computers, laptops, tablets, and even smartphones. Enhance the way you participate in training, conferences, collaboration, second-opinion consultations, and more.
