Menarini Diagnostics
Eye control system for digital dissection

Menarini Diagnostics, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of diagnostic equipment, is expanding its comprehensive cellular pathology portfolio with LOOX eye control system for the MacroPATH digital imaging system range.

It is a completely unique solution that allows the biomedical scientist and pathologist to zoom in and out, take images, videos and audio hands-free, only using their eye movements. This new way of working will therefore minimise contamination at the specimens cut up station. LOOX will additionally increase productivity with providing a more intuitive and engaging hands-free user interaction.

LOOX will replace the mouse, keyboard or foot pedal and can be used with glasses, contact lenses or face shields. LOOX is compatible with the MacroPATH imaging system range (MacroPATH, eGROSS and WorkSTATION) so it can be installed on existing customer systems or for any new installations.
