Vieworks unveils digital pathology scanner LUCEON

Vieworks, a leading name in bioimaging solutions, launched high-speed slide scanner LUCEON 510.

Employing the intricately designed 3-camera structure, LUCEON delivers four different imaging modes each optimized for varying applications, including histopathology slides, liquid-based cytology slides, and cytology slides. Three Vieworks cameras, developed and manufactured by Vieworks, obtain three differently focused images at once with scan time and data size comparable to that of a single camera.

Among the four imaging modes, the tri-focal layer merge mode captures and fuses three individual images real-time, resulting in a single fusion image containing the best focused pixels from each image. A variation of the conventional Z-stack, the tri-focal layer merge Z-stack mode utilizes LUCEON's 3-camera structure to acquire images with a scan time 3 times faster and image size one-third of Z-stack. LUCEON 510 loads up to 510 slides when fully loaded with 17 racks, 30 slides per rack. Vieworks' patent pending compatibility adapter allows the use of both 30 slide racks and 20 slide racks. With a scan speed of 30 seconds per slide, LUCEON scans up to 83 slides per hour.
