Microscope slide scanner Pannoramic Flash Desk DX

with barcode readerZ-stackbright field

Overview The Pannoramic Flash Desk DX is the smallest unit in the Pannoramic DX series, designed as a nano single‑slide brightfield scanner for specialized diagnostic pathology environments. It uses flash illumination and a 12 MP CMOS sensor to capture image detail down to 0.12 μm/pixel, providing a compact, fast scanning option for laboratories and surgical suites with constrained space and high precision requirements.

Key Features

• Flash illumination with pulsed xenon source for rapid, repeatable exposures and reduced scan time.
• Ultra-fine imaging resolution to 0.12 μm/pixel (reported to 0.1 μm/pixel at certain magnifications) for detailed cellular visualization.
• AI-based automated tissue and coverslip detection to streamline slide handling and focus allocation.
• Optional multilayer (Z-stack) and extended focus modes for complex tissue structures.
• Compact footprint with separated base and control units for placement in operating rooms or small labs.
• 12 MP CMOS sensor delivering high-fidelity capture of stained brightfield slides.

Performance and workflow Built as a high-precision single-slide brightfield scanner for diagnostic use. Supports automated tissue detection, optional 1D/2D barcode reading, Z-stack imaging and DICOM compatibility to integrate into digital pathology workflows and imaging archives.

Use Cases

• Rapid biopsy diagnostics and frozen section evaluation requiring fast high-resolution scans.
• Diagnostic immunohistochemistry (IHC) and other stained brightfield assays needing consistent capture.
• Veterinary and non-human diagnostic pathology for single-slide, high-detail imaging.

Customizable configurations

• Optional Z-stack (multilayer) acquisition with adjustable layer spacing (0.2 μm–2 μm).
• Flash Z-stack and extended focus acquisition modes.
• Support for mega/double-wide slides.
• Optional 1D and 2D barcode reading (Code39, QR, Data Matrix, etc.).
