Building upon over a decade of diagnostic excellence established by the P480, the new P480 2nd Gen introduces new features and incorporates notable enhancements to meet the evolving needs and exigencies of modern digitized laboratories. Furthermore, we have proactively engaged with our clientele, incorporating their feedback to refine and optimize the P480 2nd Gen experience.
THE NEW AND IMPROVED PANNORAMIC™ 480 2ND GEN
- Enhanced Stability and Extended Lifespan: We’ve upgraded to a ball screw spindle, replacing the PIEZO motor focus unit. This advancement promises increased stability and a longer operational life, supporting over 200,000 slide scans. Expect improved performance, durability, reduced noise, and maintained speed.
- Motorized Condenser Upgrade: Our new motorized condenser unit allows for precise height adjustment, optimizing alignment for various objectives. It’s compatible with the 10x objective, features an adjustable auxiliary lens, and can integrate a polarizer for future versatility. (No polarization occurs with the 10x configuration)
- Enhanced Interlock System: Our redesigned interlock system ensures safety by cutting power to moving parts when the door is open, addressing previous concerns about robustness based on customer feedback.
- Integration of 10x Objective (RX): Despite a slight resolution reduction, this feature expands the field of view, enhancing scanning efficiency.
- Improved Z-Stack Capabilities: Version 4.1 of our scanner includes quadruple enhancements in Z-Stack capabilities, improving performance across various parameters such as PC memory, camera configurations, layer quantities, and sample types.
- Polarization Enhancement (RX): We’ve addressed limitations by introducing a polarizing capability, particularly useful for specimens exhibiting crystalline structures. This feature expands the scanner’s applications to include geological and skin samples, heavy metal deposition investigation, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of anisotropic samples.
- Integrated Display: Our scanner now features an integrated touchscreen for quality checks and operational control. While the integrated display enhances user-friendliness, for optimal slide viewing, we recommend utilizing the scanner in conjunction with a high-resolution, color-calibrated medical-grade display.
- Brighter and More Stable Illumination: With the new Hamamatsu 20 W illuminant, expect brighter and more consistent illumination for improved imaging.
- Movable Microscope Unit: During installation, the entire microscope unit can be easily moved forward, ensuring it can pass through standard doors without hassle.
