Key Features
One-Click Atlas Registration
Automatically identifies brain slices and matches them with the Allen Brain Atlas. Supports rat, mouse, macaque and ferret brain atlases.
Cell Recognition & Counting
Automatic quantitative analysis that reduces manual intervention, ensuring consistent and accurate experimental results.
Intelligent Scan Path
Automatically identifies ROIs and plans the scanning path — a single brain slice is imaged in under 1 minute (10X, DAPI & GFP, ~40 s).
High-Precision Auto-Focus
Precise focusing on thick brain slice surfaces to quickly capture clear images, keeping all channels on the same focal plane.
One-Click Brain Atlas Registration
Standard atlas comparison for efficient brain exploration. Register slices automatically and skip the tedious manual work.
Comprehensive Registration
Handles tilted slices, incomplete slices and half-brain slices with robust algorithms.
- Tilted brain slice registration
- Incomplete brain slice registration
- Half-brain registration
Precise Manual Positioning
Side-by-side standard 2D atlas comparison and Bregma positioning for accurate localization.
Automatic Fluorescence Quantitation
Automatically recognize and quantify signals such as DAPI, c-Fos, neurons and glial cells, with statistics on positive-signal count, area and fluorescence intensity.
Custom Statistical Regions
Supports whole-brain, left/right brain and custom brain region statistics to meet diverse counting needs.
Graded Counting Results
Counting results are presented in a graded Excel layout with precise correlation between parent and sub brain regions.
High-Performance Slice Scanner
One Image Per Minute
Automatically recognizes ROIs and plans the scan path — a single slice in under 1 minute.
99% Uniformity
Uniform illumination combined with global fluorescence background correction achieves up to 99% fluorescence background uniformity.
No Crosstalk
Universal fluorescence channel configurations cover diverse applications, with highly customizable narrow-band excitation and emission filters.
Low Phototoxicity
Strobe mode provides millisecond high instantaneous power only during camera exposure, reducing phototoxicity to samples.
Simplify More Than You Think
Side LED Illumination
Side LED diffuse illumination delivers high-contrast fluorescence samples without the need to pre-mark the slide.
Progress Indicator
A ring light on the unit displays scanning status and progress via color.
Parameter Templates
Scan parameters, contrast, analysis regions and export size can be saved as reusable templates.
Batch Export
Export single-channel pseudo-color/gray images or multi-channel overlays in batches, with multi-label export support.
