I totally agree with both of you. We upgraded our Aperio (Leica) ScanScope XT to the new AT, which holds 400 slides and is much faster than the XT. Both can also scan 2x3 slides manually.

We have an Aperio ScanScope XT which is an 120 slide scanner and that works well for us. I'm going to make a shameless plug for a workshop that myself, Bill DeSalvo and Jesus Ellin will be giving at the annual meeting in Austin this year, it's called Digital Pathology for the Histotech - A Guide to Implementation it's an all day workshop that is on Saturday the 23rd and it will cover all aspects of how to select a scanner, how to implement scanning, etc. It will be very valuable to histotechs that are already scanning and also techs that are new to the scanning process.

Three that I recommend are for high volume. Aperio, Good image quality, if you need to link to study metadata Spectrum software is great. Recommend for chromogen. Separate scanner for fluorescence, fluorescent scanner only holds 5 slides at a time. Hamamatsu Nanozoomer, What we use, we do high volume chromogen and fluorescence, excellent for both. Our NanoZoomer holds 210 slides for a chromogen run. Can load up about 100 fluorescent slides per night, auto focus works well. Philips, Chromogen only, very fast scanning with high quality scans. 60 slides per hour. There are many others on the market for smaller workloads.

If anyone could supply some recommendations it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
