Aperio VERSA Brightfield, Fluorescence & FISH Digital Pathology Scanner

Building on over 150 years of Leica optical excellence, the Aperio VERSA delivers optimal image quality for all your molecular and proteomic biomarker slides. Based on the Leica DM600 B microscope, the Aperio VERSA combines an unsurpassed optical path with precision stage registration, ensuring accurate, high resolution images for the most sophisticated multiplexing studies. Automatic switching between dedicated brightfield and fluorescent cameras ensures consistent, crisp images.

With an intuitive interface and rapid one-click scanning capabilities, the Aperio VERSA beautifully combines simplicity of use with sophisticated imaging technologies, ensuring maximal system usage and adoption. High levels of automation and quick set-up of scanning protocols facilitates unattended scanning for batches containing a mixture of up to 200 brightfield, fluorescence or FISH slides. Images are fully compatible with the Aperio software portfolio, enabling remote review of slides via eSlide Manager or sophisticated image analysis.

Aperio VERSA delivers excellence in both brightfield and fluorescent imaging, with the resolution and point-to-point co-localization required for FISH. Simple set up of protocols enable users to tailor exposure settings specific to each fluorophore, while the 7 filter positions and large filter selection delivers optimal wavelengths, to maximize signal-to-noise ratios. System scalability means that the fluorescent scanning or the 200-slide autoloader can be added on at any time.

The wide range of objective lenses from 1.25x to 63x, with motorized nose piece for automatic changing, enables users to readily scan slides at their ideal resolution. Scan slides anywhere from 0.9mm to 1.2mm thick1, with scan times of 206 secs2 for 15x15mm at 20x. The automated oiler and oil-immersion lenses for 40x and 63x facilitates capture of the high resolution scans in batch and unattended modes.
