Scanning an AI Faecal Analysis slide

Shannon Mitchell Updated by Shannon Mitchell

To scan an AI Faecal Analysis slide from within Vetscan Imagyst:

  1. From the Worklist, click Scan for the AI Faecal Analysis test you want to scan.

Important: You should prepare the slide for scanning before initiating a scan from within Vetscan Imagyst. For more information, view AI Faecal Analysis slide preparation or AI Equine Faecal Worm Egg Count Analysis slide preparation.

  1. Select an option from the Colour and Consistency dropdown lists when the Scan dialog opens.
  2. Choose a scanner from the Scanner drop-down list and ensure its status shows a green available indicator.
  3. Click Open tray.
  4. When the tray on the selected scanner opens, unlock the slide locking mechanism, place the slide on the glass stage, and then lock the slide in place.

Important: Make sure the slide is correctly oriented and lying flat on the scanner's stage. If a clinic has multiple scanners, make sure to place the slide on the correct scanner.

  1. Return to the Vetscan Imagyst. Click Scan slide.

Once you have completed the steps above, Vetscan Imagyst will analyse the scan. While it is processing the scan, you will see the following statuses appear to the right of the test:
