Multimodal imaging for advanced research and specialized digital pathology.
The SLIDEVIEW™ VS200 system is designed to capture a wide variety of samples and stains with multiple magnifications, flexible slide sizes, and up to 10 imaging modes from brightfield to fluorescence. High-resolution imaging of whole slides empowers your lab to unlock more insights from your samples.
The SLIDEVIEW VS200 system offers high-resolution slide scanning for advanced research applications, such as neuroscience, cancer and stem cell research, and spatial biology. With the flexibility of up to 10 imaging modes, multiplexing capabilities, and multiple magnifications up to 100X, the system delivers outstanding image quality for quantitative analysis.
As a flexible yet intuitive scanner, the SLIDEVIEW VS200 system enables your team to digitize a wide range of sample types with minimal training. The VS200 system helps you achieve a fully digital workflow for pathology with versatile slide scanning, outstanding image quality, and flexible integration options. Get the evidence you trust for standard and specialty samples to make breakthrough decisions with confidence.

Confidence in Your Data Quality
Advanced optical innovation and automation make high-quality imaging routine and reproducible, reducing setup, variability, and user dependence across experiments and users.
Smarter Imaging and Workflow
Accelerate your path from slide to results with an intuitive interface, enhanced batch‑scanning capabilities, faster workflows, and AI-based segmentation tools. Reduce human error, manual effort, and have more confidence in your results.

Centralized Image Access
Managing the large amount of data generated by a slide scanner is easier than ever thanks to our Net Image Server (NIS) SQL database and OlyVIA™ web programs. Scan and automatically upload your images to one or more databases, differentiate between users, and take advantage of offline visualization and annotation tools.

Version 4.3 (IVD)
VS200 ASW software version 4.3 is used to control the SLIDEVIEW DX VS200 slide scanner, a CE-marked device under the EU IVDR for use in clinical diagnostics in Europe. This software is based on the research use only (RUO) software, version 4.2.
Differences Compared to Version 4.2
Additional page and links in the disclaimer, home page, and online help explaining the IVD compatible software functions
No database functionality
Notes About Licensing
RUO and IVD licenses are not connected; Scanners with RUO software cannot be updated to an IVD version, and vice versa
VS200 Desktop and OlyVIA Desktop are RUO and not IVD certified
Version 4.2.1 (Service Release)
Improvements
Additional option to improve barcode detection
Additional separators to define multichannel scans in the file name
More efficient memory management for VS-SILA scans
Added tool window for creating training labels in VS200 ASW and VS200 Desktop
Resolved Technical Issues
Startup issue caused by the E:\ drive
GUI displays incorrectly when fewer than 100 scan projects are present
Black image tiles when using the 6-line laser combiner
NI installer only works with internet connection to the PC
“Device is Busy” warning message when using manual focusing with the click to move function
Focus points are calculated incorrectly
Software crashes during a batch scan or shading correction
Color camera settings reset after restarting the software
Software needed to restart after removing an optical element
