Digital Microscopy & Scanner

PreciPoint has set itself the task of changing the future of laboratory work by removing the barriers to entry into digital work processes for users, scientists and experts.

To this end, PreciPoint develops user-oriented solutions and tools for digital microscopy and digital pathology research. PreciPoint is convinced that this technology enables, inspires and enriches the work of microscopy users around the world.

The company's mission moves PreciPoint to develop products that combine first-class optics with compact and high-precision hardware design together with easy-to-use and powerful software. The digital microscopes, scanners and software from PreciPoint are all developed and produced according to the highest German engineering standards.

21st century

Even in the 21st century, most work steps in histological

laboratories are carried out manually, as they were 150 years ago

Preparation of the tissue samples, quality control of the histological slides, manual and analog microscopic evaluation, archiving of the slides. Due to the lack of reliable workflow solutions, the high level of complexity and the often higher workflow costs, digital innovations are only being introduced gradually. That is why PreciPoint offers user-oriented solutions to remove the barriers to entry into digitization.

The solution portfolio consists of:

Analysis of processes for digitization in laboratories
Unique digital microscopes
Flexible and scalable slide scanners
High throughput solutions for digital pathology research
Telemicroscopy for decentralized work processes
Software analysis
Cloud services
Virtual microscopy platforms and software

PreciPoint M8

Discover the future of Digital microscopy

The M8 from PreciPoint can also be called the smartphone for digital microscopy and serves as a dual microscope and scanner, with all functions accessible via a touchscreen computer - which makes it a real digital microscope.
You navigate and zoom through the specimens on the touchscreen with a tap of your finger. Since everything is automated and digitized, there is no need for eyepieces or manual focusing. Use a touchscreen computer, tablet or smartphone and literally examine the sample with your own hands.
The live stitching function immediately combines several images, which were recorded in the resolution of the lens, into a single full image.
In a matter of seconds, you have an overview of the entire slide and an astonishingly large field of view. The focusing and brightness correction are carried out automatically with PreciPoint's M8 in order to generate a high-resolution image.
