Innovative Solutions for Automated Imaging

Since 1986 MetaSystems has been designing and manufacturing systems for computerized automated microscopic imaging. From the very beginning, the close relationship to the end user has been an essential part of the MetaSystems philosophy. The following three decades have revealed that this was a successful strategy; from humble beginnings, MetaSystems has grown into a leading solution provider which still remains connected to its strong roots.

MetaSystems’ latest innovation, Neon, is a dynamic, modern imaging platform which reliably manages cases, images, and results from single workstation environments to large multi-user, multi-site installations. The Neon imaging platform ensures that all relevant information is accessible whenever needed.

Maybe you can find a solution to your imaging automation problem here on this web site. We recommend starting your journey on the application pages, if you are not familiar with our product portfolio. In case you are, it may be easier to go directly to the page for the product you actually look for. Should you feel lost, please feel free to contact us or the MetaSystems partner in your country.

We believe in communication being the first step towards innovative solutions!

Constant Quest for Quality: Digital Cytopathology

Digital surgical pathology is now accepted as equivalent to traditional microscopy for diagnostic accuracy, with z-axis capability  or specific scanning parameters required for accuracy in some small biopsy specimens. Overall, studies show that diagnostic accuracy using digital cytopathology is not inferior and is sometimes superior, to using a glass slide and microscope, but results are dependent on the number of planes acquired in the z-axis on whole-slide imaging (WSI), the distance between planes and whether the z-stacks are attached as focal annotations. [...] Glass slides need to be cleaned and checked to be free of marks both to the macroscopic and microscopic eye. This includes removing screening marks, fingerprints, and dust, before scanning. An ideal cleaning solution is isopropyl alcohol (alcohol wipes) with glass slides then being dried with soft-tissue wipes. [,,,] To better simulate a traditional microscope, smooth three-dimensional focus over the entire WSI is important in cytopathology. Zeiss [...] [AxioImager] Z2 microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany) and Metafer [...] [VSlide] scanning system [...] have given the laboratory the ability to automatically z-stack entire Pap-stained wet-fixed slides allowing focus into cell collections on different planes in the z-axis on appropriately selected slides.

Next Event

21. Bamberger Morphologietage

Upcoming Event in Germany from Jan 25 to Jan 27, 2019

Link to Event Website

Die Schwerpunktthemen für den kommenden Kongress sind Uropathologie, Kopf-Hals-Tumore und natürlich die Molekularpathologie. Zu diesen Themen finden Sie ein breit gefächertes Spektrum an Vorträgen, Workshops, Kompaktkursen, Seminaren und auch interdisziplinären Kursen.

Neu ist im kommenden Januar die Gestaltung des Freitags. Hier finden Sie nach dem traditionellen Wissenscamp unter anderem fakultativ buchbare Kurse zu neuropathologischen Themen und unsere Premiere eines Masterkurses zur Schilddrüsenpathologie. Klares Ziel ist es hier, Ihnen in kurzer Zeit Lösungsmöglichkeiten für die größten Herausforderungen in der täglichen Diagnostik zu zeigen. Für unsere Labore ist die zunehmende Anforderung von molekular-pathologischen Untersuchungen eine große Herausforderung. Deswegen bieten wir unter dem Motto: „Von MTLA’s für MTLA’s „einen Kurs zur Etablierung eines NGSLabors an und starten die vierteiligen Reihe „Mol-Path für Einsteiger“ für MTLA’s, Biologen und Ärzte.

New MetaSystems Office in Latin America

MetaSystems proudly announces the opening of our first subsidiary in the Southern hemisphere. The new office is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina and bears the name MetaSystems Latinoamérica SAS (MetaSystems LatAm). The foundation has been the response to the growing demand on technical knowledge and 'know how' experienced in the last years all over the Latin American territories. MetaSystems LatAm takes care for the organization of sales, support, and customer relation activities in all countries in Latin America. It will manage distributor companies and contacts in the region, and it will facilitate communication between end-users, distributors and headquarters in Germany.
