User Interface
Precipoint’s M8 serves as a dual microscope and scanner, with all functions accessible via a touchscreen computer – making it a true digital microscope. Our intuitive software makes it easy to navigate through your microscope slides with just the touch of your fingers. Since everything is automated and digitized, there is no need for eyepieces or manual focus knobs. Work with a touchscreen computer, tablet or smartphone and literally examine the sample with your own hands.

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.

This gives you an amazingly large field of view not yet seen in microscopy and eliminates the need to change objectives.
