Slide scanners vary in their capabilities and intended uses. Some common types include:
Brightfield Scanners: These are the most common and are used to capture images of slides stained with standard histological dyes. Fluorescence Scanners: Designed to capture images of slides stained with fluorescent markers, often used in research applications. Multimode Scanners: These versatile scanners can capture both brightfield and fluorescence images, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. High-Throughput Scanners: Ideal for large laboratories, these scanners can process multiple slides automatically, increasing efficiency.
