Rapidly review entire cases with our new, 20-slide capacity L5-20 Real-Time Telemicroscopy and SL5-20 Dual-Mode Real-Time Telemicroscopy and Digital Pathology systems.* The 20-slide capacity mirrors traditional pathology folders, and with just a 33% increase in bench depth, the 5-20 systems have the smallest footprint of any system at this performance level.
