Key Features

A microscope and scanner combined into one device

  • Fritz
  • M8
  • O8

The Precipoint all-in-one devices offer entirely new possibilities for your workflow. All models have the ability to perform Live and Slide Scanning modes, enabling the systems to function as both a microscope and a scanner. This allows you to work directly on your sample, perform various analyses, and scan your slides for documentation and future viewing. The M8 and O8 are specially equipped with a third function: InstantScan. This mode provides a live-updating, user-defined image stitching mode for on-demand imaging needs.

Live Mode

The Live Mode offers the capabilities of a digital microscope. See the sample live, and zoom through the sample to view different layers and structures in your specimen. The overview image helps you to orientate and navigate.

InstantScan Mode*

The InstantScan mode is unique to PreciPoint. It gives you a large field of view of a digital scan with the speed of a microscope. Access a 15 x 15 mm area within seconds at high resolution. Perform analyses, look for rare happenings, make annotations, take notes, and then digitize everything. Generate all the reports you need.

Slide Scan Mode

Achieve highest quality scans to digitize your microscope slides. Scanning your selected region of interest (ROI) or whole slide imaging (WSI) is possible, regardless of the sample’s thickness, size, and difficulty (e.g. cytology and osteology slides).

* InstantScan Mode not available on the Fritz

Whole slide scanning

Scan whole slides and selected regions of interest with objectives ranging from 20X air to 100X oil

Bone marrow – 100X oil objective, acquired with PreciPoint O8

For the first time, users are offered the possibility to generate scanned whole slide images with both air and oil objectives in the highest quality. The resulting images are stunning. The PreciPoint is a great working tool for various applications, allowing completely new use cases. The availability of digital whole slide images helps users to simplify and standardize their work, thereby increasing efficiency and quality.
