Controlled by a protocol via application-specific setup for image area, illumination source, filter, analysis, and reporting
|
|
Workflow reproducibility
|
100% repeatability via recallable protocols; from image capture to quantitative analysis and reports
|
|
Autofocus (patent pending)
|
Precalibrated focus for any zoom setting or sample height
