The Pannoramic Confocal (PCON) scanner gives the possibility to scan slides in widefield fluorescent mode, in con-focal fluorescent mode and in brightfield mode.

The scanner is based on a modular MIDI scanner and uses a Spinning Disk System to create a reflected and a passed through image path. By subtracting the relevant information of the two generated images of the same field of view from each other, light rays, emitted by elements out of focus are eliminated and the element’s contour remains visible.

Since 2014 on the market

· The slides are inserted and removed automatically via a slide holder tray.

· 12 slide bays in the slide holder tray allowing a more or less autonomic work of the scanner.

· Used in laboratories with middle large amount of slides to be scanned and for research and development purposes in pathology, pharmacy and biology.

· Designed for brightfield scan sessions, fluorescent and con-focal fluorescent scan sessions.

Allowed slide dimensions are defined as:

Length: 75.00 to 76.00 mm

Width: 25.00 to 26.00 mm

Thickness: 00.95 to 01.05 mm

Slide holder tray of the PCON; it allows an automatic scan session of about ¾ to 1 hour, the scan time of the entirely filled tray depends highly on the tissue size .
