Motorized Microscope
The motorized microscope is an upright light microscope with a LED illumination
system. It has one 10x objective and one 100x objective and intermediate optics
switching between 1.0x and 0.5x magnification which combined yields images
with 5x, 10x, 50x, or 100x magnification.
Digital Color Camera
The camera is a high-quality progressive-scan CCD color camera, for maximum
image quality and high speed image acquisition.
Immersion Oil Unit
The unit automatically applies drops of immersion oil to a slide. An optical drop
counter controls the procedure. The oil pack contains 150 ml.
Robot Gripper Unit
The robot gripper unit enables fully automated focusing and XY-positioning of the
slide during process. It transports a slide from a magazine and back again after the
slide has been processed.
Barcode Reader
The barcode reader scans the barcode of both the slide and the magazine. For
maximum safety, the barcode of the slide is scanned before processing. See
Appendix A — System Specification for more information about barcodes.
Magazine
The magazine can be loaded with up to 12 slides (clipped/round corner slides).
Control Unit
The control unit controls motors, sensors, oil applying and illumination. It
functions as a slave computer to the PC via an unshared 100 Mbit Ethernet
connection.
