NEW COOLSCOPE VS VIRTUAL SLIDE SOFTWARE
The COOLSCOPE VS lets
users digitize entire glass slide specimens, or specific areas of interest, and
then create a virtual slide with the quality
and resolution similar to the original glass slide viewed on a microscope. The
results are high-resolution diagnostic quality digital images viewable through a
PC or standard web browser, anywhere, anytime.
Bacus' WebSlide Server, a
personal desktop Internet/Intranet server, is designed to provide virtual slides
for access on a network through the COOLSCOPE VS. The server allows multiple
users to observe a synchronized view of a particular slide along with an
interactive pointer and discussion window.
New Virtual Slide software update allows the user to archive areas of a slide including z-depth. This allows internet users top access the file as if they are moving around and focusing up and down on an actual microscope.
The COOLSCOPE operates with a simple click of the mouse on a
monitor display. Direct the mouse cursor to the desired position on the macro
image of the slide and the magnified image is displayed instantly! The intuitive
Graphic User Interface (GUI) enables one-click operation of both microscope and
image-capture features.
There is no equipment setup, no software installation or optical adjustments
necessary.
High resolution images are produced with high-density CCD digital-image
technology and Nikon CFI Optics combined into a single ergonomic design.
The COOLSCOPE enables the user to capture images with various imaging features &
camera modes (1.3M Progressive Mode at 7.5 frames/sec. max; 5M Interlaced Mode
at 3.75 frames/sec. max.).
Memory feature enables the user to view and store up to 12 coordinate positions
of the specimen slide and recall the exact image every time. The images can
recall these exact observation conditions with the respective slide.
The Split Screen Display offers comparison of a still image to a live display on
the same screen.
Quick automatic focus, and motorized-encoded specimen stage, aperture diaphragm,
light intensity adjustment, auto white-balance control and motorized
objective-magnification changer.
Enhanced web browser Graphic User Interface (GUI) enables full remote-access of
the COOLSCOPE via its internal Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX port. Multiple users at
remote sites can simultanesouly observe slides and save images. Restrict access
using IP authority control. The COOLSCOPE opens new doors to remote-site
consultation, shared access, and image retrieval with HTTP server, Telnet
server, FTP server, FTP client, and DHCP compatibility. COOLSCOPE welcomes all
PC and Mac computers with its platform-independent design.
