Tissue Finder
The Aperio CS2 tissue finder is very robust but flexible when needed. The area of interest can be adjusted by the user to optimize tissue finding on difficult samples (such as fatty tissue) or to not detect ink or stain residue.
"We no longer need to manually image experiments: the time savings of automated imaging are huge! In addition, the consistent quality of scans, the white balance and the focus are impressive and make it easier to present data to colleagues who are not familiar with histology."
