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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
