Since 2009 on the market

·       The slides are hold in magazines with 25 slide positions

·       6 magazines can be hold in the input and output stack during 1 session.

·       Designed for brightfield an fluorescent scan sessions.

·       The scan speed depends highly on the used computer configuration and the speed of the camera.

·       Today, all references to the SCAN, PSCAN or SCAN150 referring to this version of scanner.

 

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

 

 

The SCAN exists in a full version (SCAN_FL) where the Reflector turret unit is included and a more cost-effective version (SCAN _BF) without the Reflector turret unit, so only brightfield scan sessions are possible.

Magazine, used in the Pannoramic SCAN

·       A gear on the rear of the magazine allows the movement of the magazine in the feeder channel.

·       The permanent magnet is used to detect the presence of a magazine in the input stack and the state “Output stack full” in the output stack (P250 only).

·       By filling magazines in the input stack and continuously removing finished magazines from the output stack during the scan session is in progress, a “Continuous mode” of the scan session can be performed.

·       To reduce the amount of different magazines, the construction of the magazine for SCAN and P250 is identical, but the permanent magnet acts only in the P250.
