Vectra Polaris (UNSW & Ramaciotti)

Vectra Polaris

The Vectra Polaris Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging System is a tissue imager for digitalising and analysing paraffin embedded or frozen tissue sections, but also Tissue Microarrays (TMAs). It can scan in Brightfield or widefield fluorescence, but it also integrates the power of multispectral imaging to allow up to 7 colours on a whole slide scan or generate spectrally unmixed regions for up to 9 colours on the same tissue, using liquid crystal tuneable filter technology.  

The files can be viewed and annotated with the free software Phenochart and quantitatively analysed with the licenced Inform® software, or open source QuPath software, both designed for phenotyping individual cell types, counting cells, analising morphology…
