Hamamatsu, a subsidiary of Hamamatsu Photonics, said it will distribute its NanoZoomer whole-slide scanners.

Hamamatsu said it will be responsible for the sales, marketing, and technical and application support of the NanoZoomer product line for new customers throughout North America.

NanoZoomer instruments convert glass slides into digital slides for viewing and analyzing slide-mounted tissue at any resolution for both brightfield and fluorescence applications.

NanoZoomer has a Z-stack feature, which helps to accommodate thicker samples, copy and share capabilities, secure/safe storage of images, network and database interface support.
