Microscope slide scanner Pannoramic 75

with barcode readerhigh-capacityautomatic

Overview
The Pannoramic 75 is a high-throughput digital slide scanner designed for brightfield and fluorescence whole‑slide imaging in research and clinical laboratories. It supports dual-mode scanning with automatic loading for 75 slides, continuous operation and integration into digital pathology workflows.

Summary
Built around a continuously moving stage and advanced Plan‑Apochromat optics, the system pairs a 5 MP brightfield color camera (72 fps) with a back‑illuminated 16‑bit 4.2 MP sCMOS fluorescence camera. Optional 10× fluorescence objective and motorized objective/camera changers enable rapid transitions and high sensitivity imaging. Automation features include server‑side barcode reading, automated tissue and coverslip detection, and software tools for image management and analysis.

Key Features

• 75‑slide capacity (3 magazines of 25 slides) with automatic loading and continuous scanning to maximize throughput.
• Dual‑mode imaging: brightfield and fluorescence with area scanning and software autofocus.
• High‑quality brightfield imaging from a dedicated 5 MP color CMOS camera (72 fps) for accurate color and sharpness.
• Accelerated fluorescence scanning with an optional 10× fluorescence objective for faster multiplexed acquisitions.
• Back‑illuminated 16‑bit 4.2 MP sCMOS fluorescence camera for high sensitivity at low signal intensities.
• 9‑position motorized fluorescence filter changer with multiband filter support for flexible channel configurations.
• Motorized objective and camera changers for automated BF/FL transitions and multi‑objective workflows.
• Automated tissue and coverslip detection plus server‑side barcode reading for robust sample tracking.
• Integration with Pannoramic Scanner Software, SlideViewer, SlideManager, Quant and third‑party analysis/management tools.

Scan Examples / Imaging Output
Produces publication‑quality images in MRXS native format with export options to JPG, JPEGXR, BMP, PNG, TIFF, Roche TIFF, SVS and DICOM. Supports area scanning, software flat‑field correction, deconvolution, optional Z‑stack (1–30 layers, 0.2–2 µm spacing) and extended focus imaging.

Applications / Use Cases
Suited for research and diagnostic workflows including cancer research, genetics, cytopathology, biopsy diagnostics, biomedical research, and pathology services in hospitals and research institutes. Configurable for both low‑volume and high‑throughput laboratory environments.
