The uScopeDX High-Resolution Slide Scanner
Incredible images!
The uScopeDX dual-objective digital microscope slide scanner lets you browse and scan standard glass slides using either of two (2) high power objectives. The uScopeDX produces high-quality images while allowing you to scan an area of interest. This digital workhorse offers unprecedented capability in a form factor ideal for limited laboratory space. The ultra-compact size of the uScopeDX deliversperfoamance at a very econimical price. Chose any two lenses from either the 20x/0.45, 40x/0.65 or 60x/0.85 plan achromatic objectives.
Because of its size, the uScopeDX is highly portable. The industry-standard USB2 interface makes it easy to plug in and start capturing images at work or on the road. It easily interfaces with a Windows desktop or Laptop PC and allows you to view and capture slide images in a wide variety of environments.
So easy to use!
The uScope Navigator software simplifies capturing an area of interest from your glass slides. You can easily capture single images or select an area of interest to scan. Regions are scanned using the parameters you select. You can even create and apply your own multi-step image processing profiles to change image sharpness, improve contrast, or perform gamma correction. The uScopeDX is so easy to use, all your friends will want to borrow it.

Most digital microscopes are shared between many researchers. The uScopeDX is designed and priced for the individual user.
Self-Contained Hardware
The uScopeDX is a self-contained digital microscope. All the electronics, cameras, stage, and optics are contained in a device about the size of an external disk drive. The only thing you need is a Windows PC.
Dual Objectives
The uScopeDX delivers high-quality, brightfield images at near wavelength-limited resolution. Two high-power objectives bring your slide images up close and personal.
Relaxed Environmental Requirements
The uScopeDX is very tolerant of typical office and lab environments. Special, weighted tables are not required to capture clear, vibration-free images.
Simple Setup
Users can easily setup and install the uScopeDX without a team of IT specialists. Most users can take the uScopeDX from the box to viewing slides in under 10 minutes. Special file servers, network interfaces, and ultra high-performance desktop computers are not required.
Cloud Computing Compatible
The uScopeDX provides industry-standard image formats that can be used with cloud-based computing services.
Flexible API for Developers
The .Net compatible API allows developers direct hardware control of the uScopeDX. In addition, the API provides support for a variety of image enhancement filters. Developers can use the API to integrate support for the uScopeDX into existing analysis or imaging tools.
