Features include:

• 5 µm pixel size
• Dynamic monitoring of laser power
• User-selectable focus position
• One-touch calibration and scanner matching
• Powerful, flexible, and easy to learn and use.
• Simultaneously scans microarray slides at two wavelengths using a dual laser scanning system, which dramatically reduces scan time
• Displays images from up to four channels and three ratios as they are acquired in real time
• Automatically reads barcodes
• Precisely controls the scan area, further reducing scan time and image storage requirements
• Automatically logs all scanning and analysis procedures in a Lab Book
