The Nanozoomer is engineered using Hamamatsu's extensive experience in imaging technology and is designed to meet the challenging requirements of digitizing routine clinical pathology.
The Nanozoomer S360 has a capacity of 360 slides (76 mm x 26 mm), features revolutionary scanning technology, and delivers fast scanning of 82 slides per hour (at 20x and 40x magnification). The high-throughput, automated scanning and exceptional image quality are tailored to suit the most demanding applications. The NanoZoomer S360 also has an intelligent slide management feature, which uses custom barcode labels. These barcode labels can personalize specific scanning parameters to successfully prioritize and scan different tissues with minimal user-scanner interaction.
Quorum Technologies has been involved in providing digital pathology and slide scanning solutions to the Canadian research and healthcare market for over 20 years. Supporting research and clinical installations across Canada, Quorum provides the highest level of experise and knowlege to our customers.
There are samples which have 3D structures such as clumps of cells and thick tissues. They require focus adjustment during observation. To handle these kinds of slides, the NanoZoomer series is equipped with the Z-stack feature that allows you to focus on different depths in the sample. The NDP.view2 viewer software lets you adjust the focus on a Z-stack slide much like you would adjust the focus of a microscope. You can also point to an area of interest and let NDP.view2 apply autofocus for maximum clarity.
Slide quality check is often conducted manually after scanning to avoid scanning failure caused by dirt on a slide or sample folding. The NanoZoomer series evaluate scanned whole slide imaging automatically and generate the focus score of each slide's quality for your review. Focus check points within a scanned slide are automatically determined, at each check point. Then a focus score is generated and displayed on a monitor screen.
To maintain optimized condition of the scanner, routine calibrations of light intensity, white balance and shading are required. The NanoZoomer series automatically and periodically conducts a system calibration using a calibration slide located in a slide cassette, and keeps the system optimized. Whenever you scan, you will get the best whole slide imaging it can deliver.
