The NanoZoomer-SQ is much more than just a digital slide scanner. It embodies innovation and superior quality in the field of slide scanning for research and pathology. Designed by Hamamatsu, a global leader in optical and imaging technologies, this scanner provides an efficient and reliable solution for converting glass slides into high-resolution digital data.

One of the main advantages of the NanoZoomer-SQ is its compactness. With its reduced dimensions, it fits perfectly into even the smallest laboratories, providing a scanning solution accessible to all researchers and pathologists, regardless of the space available in their workplace. This compact design does not compromise the quality or performance of the scanner. On the contrary, the NanoZoomer-SQ maintains the reputation for reliability and ruggedness that characterizes Hamamatsu's slide scanner line.

Additionally, the portability of the NanoZoomer-SQ enhances its versatility. Researchers and pathologists can easily move the scanner between different workstations or even between different facilities, enabling seamless collaboration and sharing of resources.

Despite its small size, the NanoZoomer-SQ offers exceptional performance. It maintains high-resolution imaging capabilities and fast scanning speeds, ensuring accurate and efficient slide scanning. This reliability is essential in medical diagnostics and research, where accurate and rapid results are crucial.

Additionally, the compact design helps ease maintenance. With fewer moving parts and simplified construction, the NanoZoomer-SQ requires minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs for laboratories.

The versatility of the NanoZoomer-SQ makes it an indispensable tool for a wide range of research and pathology applications. Whether for the analysis of biological tissues, the study of histological slides or the creation of digital archives, this scanner meets the most demanding needs of health professionals and medical research. Its ability to produce high-resolution images with fast scanning speeds makes it a valuable tool for analyzing and documenting biological samples.

The NanoZoomer-SQ provides an exceptional user experience with a user-friendly and intuitive interface. Users can easily select the desired scanning mode, whether 20x or 40x, right from the start of the scanning process. Additionally, advanced features such as Z-stack are included to ensure accurate and detailed image acquisition, even on complex samples.

The quality of the images produced by the NanoZoomer-SQ is incomparable. Thanks to its 20x objective with a NA (numerical aperture) of 0.75, this scanner captures the smallest details of samples with exceptional sharpness and clarity. Scanning resolutions of 0.46 μm/pixel in 20x mode and 0.23 μm/pixel in 40x mode ensure images of remarkable quality, essential for precise analysis in research and pathology.

In addition to its ability to scan individual slides with high precision, the NanoZoomer-SQ also offers great flexibility in terms of file formats. Scanned images are saved in compressed JPEG format, along with slide information, making them easy to use and share later.

On the technical side, the NanoZoomer-SQ is equipped with a standard 1D barcode reader, with the option to add a 2D barcode reader as an option. This enables precise sample traceability, improving the efficiency and accuracy of laboratory workflows.

The NanoZoomer-SQ is much more than just a digital slide scanner. It is an essential tool for researchers and healthcare professionals looking for a reliable and efficient solution for high-resolution slide scanning. With its compactness, versatility and exceptional image quality, the NanoZoomer-SQ is the ideal choice for any application requiring precise and detailed analysis of biological samples.
