Does the addition of the DMetrix slipstream® slide loader influence image quality?
No. In the DX-40 scanner, the entire imaging engine consisting of optics and image sensor flies a trajectory over the slide during scanning. Like everyone elses solution, the imaging engine can lift or lower itself during scanning. But that may not be enough if a slide is tilted. For that reason, the imaging engine can also pitch and roll during scanning. The result is a patent-pending imaging method that can automatically follow the topography of the specimen. Therefore, each slide loaded automatically is automatically imaged at the same high level of sharp focus and crisp detail.
