1.1 Product Overview
1.1.1 Intended Use
The Pannoramic SCAN 150 is designed to use transmitted light and reflected light fluorescence to
digitize biological samples and specimens (typically histological sections). The target users of the
product can work for example, in education, research, industry or medical sectors.
Warning!
After each scanning make sure to inspect the digital slide for over-exposed
areas. If the slide is scanned based on improperly set parameters, it can
highly affect the diagnostic result because of information loss.
