The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health Inspection Services, National Wildlife Research Center (USDA/APHIS/NWRC) is developing a new laboratory exclusively dedicated to research of the prion-based Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). Because of the difficulty in decontaminating prions, and its labile infectivity, all equipment will be solely dedicated for the new Bio Safety Level 2 (BSL2) laboratory space. One key technique used to diagnose CWD in wild cervids is immunohistochemistry, which is imaged on a microscope/camera set up.

The NWRC needs a complete, all in one microscope system that can produce publication-ready micrograph images. In addition. This system must have the capacity to quickly scan and archive historical samples, for future AI-lead data analysis. To satisfy a project objective of creating a biorepository, a fast imager that will allow all scanning and archiving of multiple slides for each specimen is needed. The microscope must include, an entire standard 2cm slide that can be scanned at publication-quality 40x magnification in less than 4 minutes. The system would also need to be capable of keeping acquisition parameters saved for future reference.

The key requirements for this imaging system are:

All-in-one microscope system: Series of high-quality objectives Multiple imaging modes (fluorescence, brightfield, contrast, etc.) Easily decontaminated surface (reduced number of crevices and potentially sharp corners) Fast imaging, and supported AI image analysis. Something more than the usual multiple-module fully-motorized scopes currently found on the market. High quality monochrome camera (CMOS or better) High quality and r...
