This is the scanner that converts samples observed through a microscope into ultra-high definition digital images that can be viewed on a computer. Simply connect the scanner to a computer, secure a standard histology slide under the scanner’s lid, and press a button. In seconds, the unit’s CCD sensor captures the entire sample at Ultra High Definition 3600 dpi resolution, allowing you to study the delicate details of a butterfly’s wing or the unique structure of a crystal without looking through a microscope’s eyepiece. The scanner connects to a computer via the included USB cable and the included software is compatible with Windows XP and higher and Mac OSX 10.5 and higher. Comes with 100 blank slides and covers and an eye dropper for preparing your own scientific slides. Plugs into AC. 11" L x 6 3/4" W x 2 3/4" H. (3 lbs.)
