Accelerate your workflow with PreciPoint Dual Digital Microscope and Scanners
The Fritz, M8 and O8 all-in-one microscope and slide scanners from PreciPoint offer completely new possibilities for your workflow, with all functions accessible via a touchscreen computer – making it a true digital microscope. Intuitive software makes it easy to navigate through your microscope slides with just the touch of your fingers. Scan whole slides and selected regions of interest with objectives ranging from 20X to 100X in oil or air.
Key Features
A microscope and scanner combined into one device
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
