The VS120 virtual slide system can be used with fluorescent samples, giving a completely unique perspective – a slide recorded in full fluorescence can be thoroughly examined without any risk of bleaching or damage to the cells. All VS120 fluorescence system components are designed to interact seamlessly, producing a fully automated, high-speed multi-channel fluorescence scanning system with excellent flexibility and simple operation.
