The QLMP operates an Olympus VS120 high resolution slide scanner. The Olympus scanner can scan bright field and fluoroscent slides at 20x, 40x, and 100x (oil) magnifications. Images can be hosted on the QMLP Halo Link Image management system (opens in new window). Users can have an account created for viewing, annotating, and running image analysis algorithms on the system.
