PathScan® FISH is a slide scanner for FISH analysis allowing fast, flexible and reliable navigation, acquisition, analysis, archiving and transfer of high quality digital images. It can acquire images with low-emission fluorochromes thanks to the integrated highly sensitive monochrome camera. PathScan® FISH performs each process in a single working environment, guaranteeing optimized workflows tailored to suit the pathologist’s needs. It offers a choice of up to 7 different objectives for a wide range magnifications. PathScan® FISH is a valuable support for target therapy thanks to its dedicated analysis modules: Her-2, ALK, translocations, FISH spot counting. The highly sensitive monochrome camera can quickly acquire a composition of several focal planes per channel, allowing reconstruction of the highest quality color FISH image. Each channel can be managed independently, in z-stack mode. A sophisticated algorithm provides accurate detection of nuclei and spots for classification and scoring. All detected nuclei can be reviewed in a classification gallery. With its dedicated Web application, PathScan® FISH assures remote unlimited access to acquired images with password-protected access.
