1 MECOS-C2 microscopy systems

2 Microscopy systems of the MECOS-C2 family production LLC "Medical computer Systems (MECOS)" belong to a class of scanning microscopes-analyzers and are intended for: Increase of speed, accuracy, sensitivity, diagnostic significance of the group of well-known methods of analysis; Improvement of labour conditions and productivity; Creation of archives of digital copies of specimens, telemedical consultations, remote quality control and training; Automation of laborious operations of microscopy and measurements for research methods. Systems MECOS-C2 are robots, performing the loading and identification of specimens, moving the field of view in the 3d space of the specimen with navigation, selection of representative areas of analysis, detection, recognition, shooting, sorting, measurement, collection of samples of objects of analysis of the given types, formation of representative digital copy of the specimen, record of results in a database and rendering of means of visualization and remote access. Consumers: Laboratories medical, sanitary-epidemiological, research, forensic medical examination, production, veterinary.

4 Automatic Scanner MECOS-C2-MECO-SCAN Characteristics: Microscopy of bright field or fluorescent; Objectives of the entire range of apertures; Automated production of the slide Map to select the scan area; Automated production of 2d or 3d digital copies of specimens - virtual slides (VS) - for viewing on a monitor without loss of resolution and with navigation by Map. Types of specimens and VS: 2D VS of thin specimens (cytological slides increase up to 100x; histological slides increase up to 40x); 3D VS of thick specimens with a layered shooting of each field of view at several levels of focus depth (histological slides increase more 40x; wet specimens such as sediments of urine, feces, saliva, sperm, spinal fluid, blood under cover glass or in cameras; thick blood drop smear for malaria tests; some types of prints).

5 Analysis region selection functions: With automatic generation of the Map of the slide, with selection on the Map outer boundaries of the stained areas/cover glass or areas by specified features (optical density/brightness, color, morphology); Auto scan on specified coordinates for specimens with a fixed location (liquid based cytology (LBC), biochips, slide tablets, slide-cameras). Speed and digital resolution: 2D VS: Increase mm sq/sec μm/pixel 4х 48; 1,72 10х 38; 0,7 20х 15/7 0,5/0,2 40х 6; 0,22 60х 3,9; 0,17 100х 1,2; 0,07 3D VS at 15 x 15 mm, 20 x, 8 layers of depth of focus: scan time 240 seconds, 0,5 μm/pixel.

7 Automatic Scanner-Analyzer MECOS-C2- MECO-HEMO for analyses of blood smears 1. On the lens 4x is searching for the working zone of the smear. Automatically applied a drop of immersion oil. 2. On the lens 20x oil in the working area is searching for and collecting a sample of WBC specified amount. 3. Samples collecting of RBC and PL is carried at 100x oil in the region of working area with unbroken RBC morphology. 4. Repeated shooting WBC on lens 100x oil by sample coordinates before found. Blood smears of manual or automatic manufacturing. Capacity up to 90 blood smears per hour.

8 Automatic sorting of RBC, WBC with cell type galleries in the database. Ergonomic visual control of automatic sorting with interactive adjustment much faster and more efficient than manual microscopy. Routine analysis of large samples of cells (WBC to 400, RBC to 2000) to collect cells under their low concentration, to increase sensitivity to rare types of cells. The automatic cell morphometry.

9

10 Integration of external data, leukogram, categorical and quantitative evaluation morphology of RBC population, platelets histogram and relative concentration to RBC.

11 MECO-HEMO can be used for analyses of animal blood smears. Self-learning function of MECO-HEMO Analyzer is available to adapt automatic WBC sorting for animals of a specified types.

12 Automatic Analyzer-Scanner MECOS-C2-MECO-PARAS for analysis of biomaterials for protozoa and helminths MECO-PARAS performs automatic generation of 3D virtual slide (VS) of the specimen and automatic detection of helminthiasis. Types of specimens: a) specimens of feces, swabs, soil, sewage, water, fish, shellfish, crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles and their products under cover glass; b) specimens of feces from filtering test tubes in slide-camera of Fe-5 motorized station. Scanning objectives: from 20x to 100x oil. When the 20x/0.75 is applied the digital resolution of 3D VS allows to view as eggs of helminthes as majority of protozoa. Scan rate: 15 x 15 mm cover glass from 2.5 minutes; Slide-camera of the Fe-5 from 1 minute.

13 Not available for manual microscopy completeness and speed of Visual analysis using MECO-PARAS digital 3D VS. Viewing of the entire area on the full depth at different scale to search for objects of different types, with the formation of the Galleries of the detected objects.

14 Automated Search and Sorting eggs of helminths in VS as a "second opinion". A quick visual check and adjust the results of automatic detection and sorting using built-in Atlas of helminthes and protozoa.
