Huron LE-120 slide scanner

The Huron LE-120 is a brightfield slide scanner that accepts up to ten slide holders, each of which may hold standard-size (1″x3″ or 2″x3″) slides or any size slide up to 5″x7″. The scanner software allows automated setup and scanning of all ten slide holders. The setup of each slide can also be adjusted manually. Slide images are saved in a non-proprietary pyramidal TIFF format and can be uploaded to our publicly available image server for web-based viewing.
