My own observation with several models of slide scanner is that sample
preparation and handling is probably more important than the equipment
itself. Most scanners use some flavor of autofocus, and the method used may
or may not be compatible with the various quirks of your specific samples.
If you are using a multi-slide handling system, the type of slides you use,
or any treatment during your process may literally gum up the feed
mechanism that transfers slides from storage to the imaging area. So in
short, you really won't know how a system is going to perform until you try
your specific samples on it. If you do get any advice from forum members,
I'd also ask exactly how they prepare their samples and how the system
handles things like misaligned coverslips and errant smudges.
