It is designed to acquire images of cells and enables identification and examination of cells of interest. Experts can view and scan cells and record the image, using both bright field and fluorescent illumination. The acquired images can be enhanced, archived, retrieved and printed. The automated microscope enables Z motion of the slide and the motorized stage enables its X-Y motions. The microscope also includes motorized filter turret containing fluorescence filters. The system is designed to work with a manual or automated microscope and includes a dedicated, high powered microscope camera combined with state-of-the-art image analysis software for clinical and research oriented image analysis. The system's modular platform enables automation of a wide range of laboratory selected assays in pathology and cytogenetics applications. This flexible solution may be adapted to the advanced automation and workflow needs of any laboratory or research institution. The system includes a fully automated computer-controlled microscope, motorized 9-slide stage and high powered microscope-camera. This platform also comes with a variety of additional components such as oil dispenser, automated fluorescent illumination control and state-of-the-art image analysis software for clinical and research oriented image analysis and automatic robotic slide loading system, enabling high throughput automated slide analysis for a wide range of pathology applications that provides a true "walk-away" functionality, scanning up to 81 slides consecutively without human intervention. These scanning capabilities presented with the GenASIs High Throughput platform offer an efficient way to optimally use the scanning and analysis system for uninterrupted scanning.

The ScanView System is an automated scanning microscope and image analysis system. It is intended for in-vitro diagnostic use as an aiding tool to the pathologist or cytogeneticist in the detection, classification and enumeration of cells of interest based on color, intensity, size, pattern, and shape. The ScanView is indicated to detect the following cell types: 1. CEP® X Spectrum Orange™/CEP® Y Spectrum Green™ DNA Probe kit (Abbott Laboratories, Illinois, U.S.A) and is limited to the analysis of CEP XY probes via high magnification capture and analysis of interphase nuclei.

The FISHView system is intended to be used for karyotyping with realtime microscope images from cultured and stained cell specimens in their metaphase. The system works with bright field and fluorescent samples. Specimens suitable for banding analysis are: amniotic fluid, peripheral blood, chorionic villus, bone marrow and solid tumor. Karyotyping is normally applied for the pre and postnatal diagnosis of birth defects, chromosome abnormalities, genetic diseases (such as Down's syndrome), cancer, and for the follow up of cancer treatment. The FISHView system does not locate metaphase spreads; it does not rank the given cells according to quality; nor does it automatically classify chromosomes. In addition the FISHView is intended as an aiding tool to the pathologist or cytogeneticist for digital visualizing, processing, counting and classification of stained cells and for storage of FISH multi - dye images of the following specimens: amniotic fluid, peripheral blood, chorionic villus, bone marrow and solid tumor. The FISHView system does require and relies on the operator to analyze the digitized microscope images.

The FISHView is a modification of the legally marketed (K012103) BANDView system. Digital visualizing, processing and storage of FISH multi dye images has been added to the BANDView original karyotyping features. The FISHVeiw System is a fully integrated digital imaging platform constructed of a microscope, camera, frame grabber and a workstation. It is designed to acquire images of cells and enables identification and examination of cells of interest. Cytological analysis experts can view, manually scan cells and record the image, using both bright field and fluorescent illumination. The acquire images can be enhanced, archived, retrieved and printed.

The BandView system is intended to be used for karyotyping with real-time microscope images from cultured and stained cell specimens in their metaphase. The system works with bright field and fluorescent samples with all currently applied banding techniques including G-banding and DAPI-banding. All specimens suitable for banding analysis including from amniotic fluid, peripheral blood, chorionic villus, bone marrow, and tissue can be used without limitation to specific diseases. Karyotyping is normally applied for the pre and postnatal diagnosis of birth defects, chromosome abnormalities, genetic diseases (such as Down's syndrome), cancer, and for the follow up of cancer treatment. The BandView system does not locate metaphase spreads; it does not rank the given cells according to quality; it does not automatically classify chromosomes; it does require and relies completely on the operator to manipulate the digitized microscope images.

The BandView system aids the cytogenetic specialist in the preparation of karyotypes of human cells in their metaphase. By transferring images of chromosome spreads from the microscope to a computer, the labor-intensive manual processing of photographs, data archiving and document preparation is eliminated. Karyotypes are assembled by the operator with the support of the Band View analysis software. The BandView system does not locate metaphase spreads, it does not rank the given cells according to quality; it does not automatically classify chromosomes; it does require and relies completely on the cytogeneticist to manipulate the digitized microscope images.

An accessory to a Fundus camera providing spectrally resolved images of the retina and optic disc and providing high contrast visualization of the blood vessels.

The Retinal Cube is an accessory to a standard fundus camera which enables the acquisition, processing, and display of spectrally resolved images with high contrast visualization of blood vessels. The Retinal Cube consists of the following three major components. - The imager unit which mounts on a standard fundus camera and actually acquires the ● spectrally resolved images - A controller unit which contains the electronics that control the imager - . A computer which performs display processing and provides the user interface for the system The imager unit produces a three dimensional data set consisting of a spectrum for each pixel. The 'data is processed using an algorithm which takes advantage of the spectral information to produce a two dimensional image containing high contrast visualization of the blood vessels.
