Microscope slide scanner Pannoramic Scan II

with barcode readermultilayerupgradable

Overview
The Pannoramic Scan II is a digital slide scanner for research and clinical laboratories, providing automated whole‑slide brightfield and fluorescence scanning with high capacity and configurable optics and cameras.

Summary
The system accepts up to 150 slides per run (6 magazines × 25 slides) or continuous loading. It supports both brightfield and fluorescence modalities and is configurable with high‑performance objectives and camera options to meet different imaging requirements.

Key Features

• Up to 150‑slide capacity per run or continuous loading for uninterrupted workflows.
• Configurable resolution down to ~0.087 μm/pixel (depending on optics and camera).
• Brightfield and advanced fluorescence scanning with dedicated monochrome PCO edge 4.2 bi camera option for improved fluorescence results.
• Smart slide detection that skips empty slots and optimizes throughput.
• Automated tissue and coverslip detection to increase scanning reliability.
• Optional multilayer (Z‑stack) and extended focus scanning.
• 1D/2D barcode reading for sample traceability.

Imaging and Performance

• Supports brightfield whole‑slide and fluorescence whole‑slide scanning.
• Example brightfield speed: ~5 min 30 s per slide (0.17 μm/pixel, 15 mm × 15 mm) using a 5MP high‑performance CMOS.
• Example fluorescence speed: ~8 min 30 s per slide (15 mm × 15 mm, 0.33 μm/pixel, 3 channels).
• Throughput examples: ~30 slides/hour (brightfield at 0.17 μm/pixel); ~20 slides/hour (fluorescence at 0.33 μm/pixel).
• Image export formats: MRXS, JPG, JPEGXR, BMP, PNG (configurable).

Optics and Illumination

• Available objectives (configurable): Plan‑Apochromat 20×/0.8 NA (default), Plan‑Apochromat 40×/0.95 NA; optional 10×/0.3 Plan‑Apochromat for fluorescence.
• Brightfield illumination: wideband multichannel RGB LED source.
• Fluorescence illumination: high‑end fluorescent light engine options (e.g. Lumencor SOLA U‑nIR, Spectra III) and optional sCMOS back‑illuminated cameras for enhanced sensitivity.

Automation and Usability

• Continuous loading with slide sensor to skip empty magazine slots.
• Motorized objective changer available for dual‑objective configurations.
• Customizable scanning profiles and user interface for laboratory workflows.
• Barcode reading (1D/2D) for sample identification and tracking.

Sample and Mechanical

• Supported slide dimensions: Length 75.0–76.2 mm, Width 25.0–26.0 mm, Thickness 0.9–1.2 mm.
• Base unit approximate dimensions: 740 mm × 530 mm × 450 mm.
• Weight: approx. 26 kg (base); approx. 29 kg with fluorescence option.

What distinguishes the product
Combination of high throughput (150 slides or continuous loading), configurable high‑resolution optics and camera options, plus advanced fluorescence capabilities tailored for research and clinical laboratory workflows.
