The Aperio ScanScope |
Welcoming the new agreement, Peter Drent, Deputy General Manager at Nikon
Instruments Europe said, "Aperio was the first company to appreciate that
slide digitisation was only a part of the digital pathologist needs.
Aperio’s software development shows comprehensive understanding of how to
incorporate slide digitisation into the pathology workflow. By offering
Aperio ScanScope solutions alongside Nikon's microscopes and digital
cameras, we are able to offer a full line of digital pathology solutions."
Dirk Soenksen, CEO, from
Aperio Technologies commented, "With its established presence and market
leading dynamic telepathology solutions created with the Coolscope, Nikon
Instruments is an ideal partner to help us build on and extend our presence
in Europe." Aperio’s digital pathology systems are based on the
company’s patented linear array-based ScanScope slide scanners, which create
seamless, true-colour whole-slide images from an entire glass slide in a
matter of minutes.
Aperio’s slide scanning systems are offered with
Spectrum software to enable secure viewing, analysis and management of
digital slides and other images in multi-user, multi-site environments. Nikon will also resell Aperio TMALab software and Aperio’s suite of image
analysis algorithms. To top
