Overview
The M8 microscope first scans the entire slide to provide an instant overview of your sample. The overview is always displayed in the upper left corner of the screen, so you can easily access your areas of interest. Navigate and zoom directly to the relevant areas of the preparation images without having to search around aimlessly.
The M8 also has the ability to read foil bar codes.

Our live stitching feature combines single frames,
taken with the maximum resolution of the lens,
within seconds to a screen-filling single image. This gives you an amazingly large field of view not yet seen in microscopy and eliminates the need to change objectives.
Zoom seamlessly through the slide thanks to the intuitive operating concept,
as if you could examine the sample with your own hands.
Annotations, measurements, multiple fields of view and other software-based applications support you and your work.
