Imaging Core Facilities (ICFs) are vital hubs in research institutions, facing a wide range of applications and samples requiring imaging on tight timelines. Addressing these needs, we introduce the Evident Scientific VS200 SLIDEVIEW slide scanner, designed to support ICF challenges. 

VS200 offers a comprehensive solution by incorporating five observation methods (Brightfield, Darkfield, Polarization, Phase Contrast, and Fluorescence) and the newly added SILA module, for optical sectioning of thick samples with up to 6 fluorescent staining. 

Its standout feature is its upgradeability to multi-tray loading alongside to optional immersion oil objectives. With a user-friendly interface, it offers quick and expert modes for efficient and simplified operation without sacrificing the complexity of imaging set up that is required by challenging biological samples. The entire image acquisition process, from sample detection to focus search and direct image saving or uploading to the NISSQL database, can be automated. Additionally, a variety of scanning projects can be executed in a single batch scan, enabling each user to save their images in individual folders with distinct user access levels.  Supporting multiple data formats and integrating Evident TruAI for deep-learning driven analysis, the VS200 empowers researchers to efficiently achieve high-quality imaging and driving scientific innovation.
