3DHISTECH’s Pannoramic DX Digital Pathology Solutions provide high-resolution, automated scanning for Pap smears, fine needle aspirations (FNA), fluid cytology, and non-gynecologic specimens, ensuring optimized workflows and reliable diagnostic accuracy.
Key Challenges
Cellular Complexity & Variability
Cytology slides require high magnification and precise focus layering for accurate assessments.
High Volume of Specimens
Processing multiple slides manually is time-consuming and can lead to diagnostic delays.
Diagnostic Consistency & Standardization
Variability in cell morphology interpretation can impact reliability.
Limited Access to Expert Review
In smaller labs, pathologists may require remote expert opinions for challenging cases.
Integration with Digital Pathology Systems
Laboratories need seamless connectivity with LIS/HIS and cloud-based storage for efficient workflow management.
OPTIMAZING GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY RESEARCH
Solutions
To support geologists, mineralogists, and petroleum researchers, 3DHISTECH offers two cutting-edge imaging solutions:
№1. Micro-CT for 3D Geological and Petroleum Exploration
The Pannoramic-X is an advanced micro-CT scanner designed for three-dimensional volumetric imaging of petrological samples, drill cores, and fossilized structures. Unlike traditional microscopy, which requires destructive thin-sectioning, soft X-ray computed tomography enables non-invasive, high-resolution visualization while preserving the natural spatial relationships of mineral grains, inclusions, and structural features.
Best for:
Key Benefits
- Identifies petroleum reservoirs by analyzing porosity, permeability, and fluid inclusions in drill cores.
- Virtual slicing & staining techniques allow geologists to conduct non-destructive hydrocarbon analysis.
- Reveals petroleum migration pathways and reservoir connectivity using AI-powered segmentation.
- 3D visualization of mineral phases enables automated differentiation of rock compositions.
- Analyzes cementation patterns and alteration zones, critical for ore deposit exploration.
- Facilitates non-destructive fossil imaging, preserving structural integrity while enabling detailed paleoenvironmental analysis.
Pannoramic-X
Technical Advantages
- Soft X-ray virtual slicing eliminates the need for destructive sectioning.
- AI-powered image processing automates mineral classification and structural segmentation.
