The PathScan Enabler IV, is designed to allow scanning of an entire whole mounted histology sample attached to standard 1 x 3 inch cover slipped glass slide. The PathScan Enabler IV solves low power, large field of view, high resolution imaging problems. This fourth generation low cost histology scanner scans an area of 1.42 x 0.85 inches (36.14 x 21.59 mm), resulting in useable images up to 10,080 x 6480 pixels, uninterpolated. File size can be as large as 188 megabytes. Produces image files which can be saved in a variety of formats including TIFF, PICT, BMP, GIF, etc. Compatible with PC Windows & Mac based computers.

This instrument will not replace a microscope and digital camera. It is designed to compliment those instruments by doing something they cannot. Namely, capture an ENTIRE histological sample without having to stitch it together. The resulting picture will have the image quality of a 5.0x objective.

Conventional microscopes equipped with low power objectives and digital cameras typically cannot capture samples larger than 6 mm in diameter. The PathScan Enabler IV captures specimens as large as 36 mm in diameter! Better yet, there is no uneven illumination or out of focus sample edges, as can be the case with traditional low power image capture techniques.
