PANNORAMIC® SCAN RX 1.0
Notice:
If a hematology slide is detected including blood smear, the Remove Coverslip function
cannot be activated and focusing on the coverslip area is not available. If you want to use
the Remove Coverslip function, first switch to Custom Scanmap.
Fill holes inside scanmap
Often these holes contain small sample objects that otherwise would not be scanned.
Remove specks – If selected, the scanner does not digitize objects smaller than the
predetermined size. This helps filtering specks and other uninteresting objects out.
Set the maximum volume of specks manually in the setting window
Threshold settings have two different statuses:
•
Auto threshold
Caution!
Make sure that the detection result is acceptable for you. Otherwise set the threshold value
manually.
•
Manual threshold
preview with Calculate Threshold
manually. This sets the sensitivity of the specimen detection. To set the desired threshold
value manually, change the setting in the Specimen threshold level selection box in the
range of 0-255. The default value is 212. Smaller values result in a more sensitive scanning,
meaning that more areas will be digitized, however, this may also include specks or other
imperfections of the slide. Greater values result in a less sensitive scanning, but it is
possible that some of the smaller specimen areas will not be digitized.

Use marker with threshold
digitization, (for example, weak contrast), it can help to encircle completely the specimen
with a black marker pen. You have to draw a full circle with the pen to enable the
detection. Marker pen detection will make specimen detection easier by limiting the
scanned area.
