Pannoramic 150 Digital Scanner
Pannoramic 150 – High Throughput Digital Slide Scanner for Advanced Brightfield and Fluorescence Imaging
The Pannoramic 150 sets a new standard in digital pathology and whole-slide imaging with high-speed, high-resolution scanning for both brightfield and fluorescence applications. Designed for high-throughput research, it combines cutting-edge optics, automation, and software integration to deliver unparalleled performance, accuracy, and efficiency. With a 150-slide capacity and continuous loading, it eliminates workflow bottlenecks, enabling labs to process more slides in less time. Its Plan-Apochromat 40x/0.95 NA objective achieves 103x magnification at 0.10 µm/pixel resolution, producing publication-quality brightfield images with exceptional clarity. The continuously moving stage and 72 fps brightfield color camera further enhance speed without sacrificing detail.
A key differentiator is its exclusive 10x fluorescence objective, an innovation unique to 3DHISTECH that reduces fluorescence scan time by 50% compared to conventional scanners. Unlike competitor systems that rely solely on higher magnifications, the Pannoramic 150 combines high-speed fluorescence imaging with uncompromised resolution and sensitivity. This groundbreaking feature, paired with a back-illuminated 16-bit 4.2 MP sCMOS camera, 9-position motorized fluorescence filter changer, and high-end multiband light engine, provides unmatched speed and efficiency for multiplexed fluorescence imaging. Automated slide handling, barcode reading, and tissue detection further streamline the workflow, reducing manual workload and increasing productivity.
With faster, more reliable results, the Pannoramic 150 allows researchers to focus on data interpretation instead of troubleshooting technical issues. Less hands-on time means more productivity, as automated slide loading, barcode detection, and intelligent focus adjustment free up valuable research hours. The high-resolution brightfield and fluorescence imaging enhance data accuracy, delivering clearer, more detailed results for confident decision-making. Scalable for any lab size, it seamlessly adapts to both small-scale studies and high-volume research projects, ensuring efficiency without compromise. With its cutting-edge technology, automation-driven workflow, and superior imaging capabilities, the Pannoramic 150 is more than just a scanner, it’s an essential tool that simplifies your work, boosts efficiency, and improves research outcomes.
