The new Sutter Resonant Scanner system is a general purpose resonant scan box and controller using the industry standard Cambridge Technologies CRS 8KHz resonant scanner for fast X scanning and a second Cambridge galvo scanner (6215 5mm) for Y axis scanning. The scan box is sealed to keep the system quiet and the package allows full frame scanning at up to 30 frames per second (actual values software dependent). Unlike other resonant systems designed to be used with proprietary hardware and/or software, the Sutter resonant scan box and its connections to the outside world are intentionally generic.

Two versions of the scan box are currently available:

RESSCAN-MOM - a version that fits in the standard scanner location in the MOM® and can be purchased either with a new MOM or used to field convert an existing MOM.
RESSCAN-GEN - a generic version compatible with 60mm cage systems. This version of the resonant scan box was designed for the Janelia Farms MIMMs scope, but will work with any microscope with a scan pathway designed around a 60mm optical cage.

The resonant scan box controller (MDR-R) connects to and drives the resonant scan box and provides the exact inputs and outputs supplied by Cambridge Technologies scanner controller cards (SYNC and ZOOM for the CRS scanner and Position for the slow Y scanner). This is helpful for those who have existing software that runs with other microscopes using Cambridge Resonant scanners.

The Sutter resonant scanner system can be purchased in several configurations. Those who wish a ready to use, turnkey resonant scanner system, complete with software, should purchase either RES-MOM-MCS or RES-GEN-MCS. If you wish to use your RESSCANNER with ScanImage 2015, you should purchase either RES-MOM-SI2015 or RES-GEN-SI2015.

Alternatively, you may wish to take advantage of the standard connections on the controller to use the Sutter scanner system with existing freeware (Helioscan or SI 5), third party commercial software (3I Slidebook) or software of your own design. Sutter carries standalone NI FLEX RIO data acquisition packages to use with SI 5.
