Slide Scanners

The NanoZoomer Series is a family of digital slide scanners that convert glass slides into high-resolution digital data by high-speed scanning.

The NanoZoomer comes with a variety of functions such as image acquisition of fluorescence samples and multilayer acquisition. The scan units in the NanoZoomer Series employ "line scan" and "TDI mode" to scan sample tissues on glass slides at high speed and convert them into high-definition digital images. Scanned data can be viewed on a PC monitor by using the dedicated viewer software, and patented navigation map technique delivers slide viewing environment just as if operating a microscope.

Automatic processing of up to 210 slides and a solid history of stable performance.

The NanoZoomer 2.0-HT is a user-friendly scanner designed to process up to 210 slides automatically. Just set the slides and press the start button, and all tasks from transferring the samples to acquiring their images are performed automatically.

The NanoZoomer 2.0 series is a system that converts glass slides into digital slides by scanning them quickly at high resolutions.

Digital slides can be stored as high-definition, high-quality digital image data in which you can zoom in and out on any portion of the entire sample with a simple mouse operation, as if you were operating a microscope. In addition, the “Z-stack” multi-level slide scanning feature allows you to view thick samples by changing the focus.
