Introducing the MIDI III: Revolutionary LED Flash Technology and FISH-Enabled Fluorescence Scanning
3DHISTECH proudly presents the MIDI III, an advanced research scanner designed to redefine imaging capabilities in both Brightfield and Fluorescence modes. Equipped with cutting-edge LED Flash Technology and a unique 3-objective fluorescence scanning system, this compact yet powerful scanner is poised to elevate research standards across the globe.
Next-Generation Brightfield Scanning with LED Flash Technology
At the heart of the MIDI III is its trailblazing LED Flash Technology, which delivers Brightfield (BF) imaging at speeds 10 times faster than its predecessor, the MIDI II. This revolutionary system utilizes rapid LED light pulses, providing homogeneous illumination without the risk of motion blur, ensuring exceptional image clarity and accuracy. Despite the boost in speed, the scanner operates silently, preserving the peaceful focus of the lab environment.
Whether your research requires high-volume scanning or detailed sample analysis, the MIDI III offers unmatched precision and efficiency in Brightfield mode, making it an essential tool for modern research labs.
Unmatched Fluorescence Capabilities with 3-Objective System and FISH Technology
The MIDI III is the first benchtop scanner featuring a 3-objective fluorescence system, providing researchers with the ability to capture highly detailed images across multiple fluorescence channels. With high-speed, multi-channel pre-scanning, the scanner enables accurate and rapid analysis, making it ideal for a wide range of applications including Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization (FISH), a critical technique in modern genetic and cancer research.
By delivering high-resolution imaging for genetic studies, gene mapping, pathogen detection, cancer diagnostics, and more, the MIDI III enhances the ability to conduct complex research with unmatched precision and speed.
Designed for Modern Research Needs
Despite its compact size, the MIDI III offers exceptional versatility with both Brightfield and Fluorescence modes. The scanner comes equipped with an automated system that allows for seamless, continuous scanning, handling up to 12 slides per load. Its advanced automation and precision enable researchers to focus on analyzing data while the MIDI III handles the intricate details of scanning.
A Game-Changer for Research Labs
The MIDI III arrives at a crucial time when FISH applications in research are of paramount importance. This compact, feature-packed scanner is set to revolutionize research labs, aiding in the identification of genetic abnormalities, cancer diagnosis and prognosis, gene mapping, prenatal diagnosis, pathogen detection, and more.”
The MIDI III stands at the forefront of innovation in imaging technology, providing critical tools for researchers to advance scientific knowledge, develop treatments, and improve diagnostic accuracy.
