2-2 Operating Manual for the LS Series Scanner No. 30001798 Rev. No. 1.5
Its special microplate/slide adapters accommodate 4 slides at once and loading is
easily automated with standard microplate equipment.
Due to its flexible design, other sample formats can be measured as well.
The software allows special formats to be defined and special scanning areas to
be processed. Due to an exceptionally high working distance of 6.5 mm,
'thick' samples, well structures, samples within a liquid cell or even gels can be
measured. An automatic autofocus system is able to bring all of these samples
into the proper focal plane. If you are in doubt whether a special sample format
can be measured with the LS SERIES SCANNERS, please contact a Tecan
representative.
