Slide scanning service!
NOTICE: Slide Scanning Service will be shut down through the winter holidays. Sample submission forms will not be accepted after Dec13th. Sample drop off will be shutdown December 20th, as we cannot guarantee staff are available to properly store the samples. Sample submission and drop off will resume regular activity on January 2nd, 2025. Please plan your experiments accordingly if you have samples that are less stable you should contact SCOPE staff to determine the best plan for your experiments.
We are now accepting samples for drop-off imaging using our TissueGnostics tissue cytometers.
These widefield and confocal slide scanning microscopes are ideal for taking whole-tissue and whole-coverslip images at high resolution for both colorimetric (H&E, DAB, IHC) and immunofluorescent samples.
To submit your samples, please submit this form and drop your slides on the table outside of S5-216.
Curious about the image quality? Contact us using the sample submission form to arange for 1 free example slide scan or to view example data.
Slides will be scanned on a first come, first served basis. Data will be returned ASAP.
