Pathologists want the highest quality images very fast. The Omnyx VL4 provides just that, using patented Independent Dual Sensor Scanning technology and combining it with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface.

Omnyx VL4 Key Features:

• Outstanding image quality — imaging technology focuses on every tile, resulting in high quality images that accurately capture more of the tissue’s fine details
• One click, walk-away automation — no need to set scan plans or select scan areas
• Intuitive, easy-to-use system —onboard LCD touch screen designed by histotechnicians and imaging specialists to make scanning easy
• 40x and 60x magnification for brightfield images for up to 4 slides at a time — no intervention or slide scanning interruption required to change magnification levels
• Automated matching of images to a case with barcode scans of slide labels
• Continuous operation offline for up to 8 hours in the event of a computer network outage

Independent Dual Sensor (IDS) Scanning

Accurate focusing is a critical challenge of whole slide imaging, primarily due to tissue topography variability. Traditional line scanning and tiling scanning systems are limited in their ability to acquire a multitude of focus points while maintaining scanning speed. A patented technology, referred to as Independent Dual Sensor Scanning, decouples image acquisition from focusing and allows for parallel processing, resulting in rapid scanning while focusing within each tile in the whole slide image. The result: fast slide scanning performance and higher quality images. Both the VL4 and VL120 share the same patent-pending imaging engine. Compared to competitive products, the VL4 focuses on up to 700% more focus points, resulting in outstanding image quality.
