Microscope slide scanner PANNORAMIC™ MIDI III

with barcode readerautomaticbright field

Overview The PANNORAMIC™ MIDI III by 3DHISTECH is a compact high-performance digital slide scanner for advanced pathology and research laboratories. It integrates fast brightfield and multi-channel fluorescence scanning in an automated 12-slide system with optical performance down to 0.10 µm/pixel, enabling high-resolution whole-slide imaging for biomarker analysis, multiplex assays and tissue morphology studies.

Key features

• Dual-mode scanning: seamless switching between brightfield and fluorescence using a dual-camera system with motorized camera changer.
• High-throughput automation: 12-slide automatic loading, scanning and barcode reading for efficient workflow integration.
• Ultra-high optical resolution: down to 0.10 µm/pixel with 40x objective for detailed cellular and subcellular imaging.
• Advanced fluorescence: 9-position filter wheel supporting up to 45 fluorescent channels; fluorescence light engine with multiple solid-state sources (LEDs/lasers, 380–740 nm).
• Automated tissue detection and USB preview camera for reliable thresholding and scan setup.
• Optional modes: Z-stack (multilayer) scanning and Extended Focus for 3D analysis and fully focused images.
• Compact, low-maintenance design with optimized reliability for routine lab use.
• Flexible image export: native MRXS plus export to JPG, JPEG XR, BMP, PNG, TIFF, Roche TIFF, SVS and DICOM.

Applications / Use cases Designed for advanced pathology research and diagnostic workflows, the PANNORAMIC™ MIDI III supports cancer research, biomarker discovery, neuroscience, immunology, drug development, plant sciences and other workflows requiring multiplex fluorescence and whole-slide brightfield imaging.
