Microscope slide scanner Pannoramic MIDI III DX

with barcode readerautomaticbright field

Overview
The Pannoramic MIDI III DX digital whole-slide scanner delivers high-resolution brightfield imaging and workflow features for low-to-mid-volume pathology and clinical labs. Equipped with 3DHISTECH LED Flash illumination, it supports ultra-resolution capture (down to ≈0.10–0.12 µm/pixel depending on optics and camera) and offers automated tissue detection, optional multilayer (Z-stack) scanning, barcode support and server-based control via CaseManager for centralized operation.

Key Features

• White LED with 3DHISTECH Flash Technology (~60,000 hours lifetime)
• Ultra-resolution brightfield imaging (resolutions reported as fine as 0.10 µm/pixel with appropriate objective/adapter)
• AI-based tissue detection: automated tissue area recognition, cover glass exclusion, speck removal, multiple tissue area detection
• DICOM and MRXS compatibility for integration into digital pathology and healthcare systems
• Optimized handling of specialty and custom-stained slides; supports extended focus and multilayer imaging
• Motorized dual-objective configuration (seamless switching between 20x and 40x with optional second objective)
• Server-based scanning control via CaseManager for centralized, standardized workflows
• Comprehensive 1D/2D barcode recognition (optional): Code39, QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Han Xin

Performance and Throughput

• 12-slide capacity with hot-swap dual-tray workflow to minimize downtime
• Scanning speed: ~90 seconds/slide at Brightfield 20x (0.2 µm/pixel)
• Scanning speed: ~150 seconds/slide at Brightfield 40x (0.1 µm/pixel)
• Throughput: up to ~25 slides/hour at 0.2 µm/pixel and ~15 slides/hour at 0.1 µm/pixel
• Multilayer (Z-stack) support: up to 30 layers with adjustable spacing (0.2–2.0 µm) for extended-focus / 3D visualization

Optics, Sensors & Image Output

• Objectives: 20x (0.8 NA) and 40x (0.95 NA) standard; higher effective pixel resolutions achievable with adapters (examples: 0.2 µm/pixel at 50x, 0.1 µm/pixel at 100x with 1.0x adapter)
• Camera/sensor options referenced in documentation (examples include 12 MP CMOS and 5 MP CMOS configurations)
• Image output formats: MRXS, DICOM, JPG and other standard clinical slide formats
• Supports integration with LIS/PACS and clinical workflows

Slide & Coverslip Compatibility

• Slide size: Length 75.0–76.2 mm; Width 25.0–26.0 mm; Thickness 0.9–1.2 mm
• Coverslip: Length max. 50 mm; Width max. 24 mm (recommended 22 mm); Thickness No.1 (0.13–0.16 mm) and No.1.5 (0.16–0.19 mm)

Optional & Advanced Capabilities

• Optional multilayer / extended focus imaging modes for challenging tissue morphology
• Optional motorized second objective for fully automated magnification switching
• Optional 1D/2D barcode reading for slide traceability and LIS integration

Compatibility, Integration & Workflow

• Supports DICOM and MRXS standards for clinical integration
• Centralized scanning parameter control via CaseManager for standardized multi-server workflows
• Automated real-time image quality assessment, auto-rescan, event history exports and Central Log Service integration for traceability
