Hamamatsu Photonics, a global leader in imaging technology, announces the release of the new NanoZoomer S20MD Slide scanner system (C16300-21MDEU).

 

This exciting new device was developed to provide clinical pathologists additional flexibility in their laboratory workflow. It completes the existing NanoZoomer line-up of MD models, by offering a medium scale digital pathology routine, ideal for priority scanning during peak production.

 

The whole slide scanner of its kind on the market can scan approximately a slide/30 seconds in ×20 or ×40 mode, allowing pathologists a leaner and more efficient workflow. Additionally, it gives them the possibility to work alongside their existing Sakura stainar and film coverslipper thanks to a new optional adaptor.

 

The NanoZoomer S20MD also offers excellent image quality as it is designed with the same pixel pathway as high-end model, NanoZoomer S360MD Slide scanner system. Moreover, the image acquisition software (NZAcquireMD) and the image viewing software (NZViewMD) allow users to easily create, view and perform quality checks on whole slide images.
