with barcode readerhigh-capacityautomatic

Overview
The Pannoramic 150 is a dual-mode digital slide scanner for high-throughput brightfield and fluorescence imaging in research laboratories. It combines a continuously moving stage, Plan-Apochromat optics and a back-illuminated sCMOS fluorescence camera to deliver high-resolution images with automation suited to long unattended runs.

Key Features

• 150-slide capacity (6 magazines × 25) with continuous loading to minimize workflow interruptions.
• Dual brightfield and fluorescence scanning with automated barcode reading and tissue detection.
• High-speed brightfield: dedicated 5 MP color CMOS camera (72 fps) and Plan-Apochromat 40x/0.95 NA objective, up to 103x effective magnification at 0.10 µm/pixel.
• Accelerated fluorescence scanning using a 10x fluorescence Plan-Apochromat objective and a back-illuminated 16‑bit 4.2 MP sCMOS camera for improved sensitivity.
• 9-position motorized fluorescence filter changer with multiband support and high-end light engine for multiplexing.
• Motorized camera and (optional) objective changers for automated transitions between modes and magnifications.
• Server-side barcode reading and imaging software integration for centralized data management.

Imaging and Scanning Highlights

• Brightfield: up to 103x (40x objective + 1.6x adapter); resolution down to 0.10 µm/pixel with 40x objective.
• Brightfield camera: 5 MP color CMOS, 72 fps for high-fidelity color capture.
• Brightfield illumination: LED transmitted light with LED FLASH technology (~60,000 h life).
• Fluorescence: 10x Plan-Apochromat reduces scan time by ~50%; fluorescence resolution to 0.10 µm/pixel with 40x+1.6x adapter.
• Fluorescence illumination: Lumencor SOLA, Spectra III or CoolLED pE-800 covering ~380–740 nm.
• Fast multicolor preview/flash scanning for sample detection and automated tissue/coverslip identification.

Automation, Throughput & Workflow

• Continuous automatic loading for long unattended runs; 150-slide capacity (6 × 25).
• Optimized throughput for high-volume research: brightfield example ~1 min 30 s for 15 × 15 mm at 0.19 µm/pixel.
• Fluorescence example ~8 min 30 s for 15 × 15 mm with 3 channels (20 ms exposure).
• Automated focus routines, flat-field correction, deconvolution and USB preview camera for reliable tissue detection.
• Optional Z-stack scanning (1–30 layers, 0.2–2 µm step) for extended focus and 3D analysis.

Compatibility & Output

• Slide compatibility: 75.0–76.2 mm × 25.0–26.0 mm × 0.9–1.2 mm; coverslips No.1 or No.1.5 (0.13–0.19 mm).
• Image formats: native MRXS with export to JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, SVS and DICOM.
• Barcode support: 1D and 2D (Code39, Code128, QR, Data Matrix) for sample tracking.

Use Cases

• Designed for research and high-throughput labs: biomedical and cancer research, genetics, plant sciences and other research workflows requiring combined brightfield and fluorescence imaging.

Available Objectives & Options

• Objectives: Plan-Apochromat 10x/0.3 (fluorescence option), 20x/0.8 (default), 40x Corr/0.95.
• Optional 1.6x adapter to increase effective magnification for both modes; motorized objective changer available when two objectives are selected.
• Optional features: multilayer (Z-stack) scanning, extended focus scanning, additional software modules.

Physical & Operational

• Approx. dimensions: 673 × 689 × 546 mm (scanner unit).
