▪ Full compatibility with Windows and Mac operating systems
A manual microscope slide scanning scanner offers exceptional quality, best support for microscope use.
- Manual microscope slide scanning - PrimeHisto XE is designed specifically for medical/pathological tissue sample observations.
- Rotatable Polarizer – Built-in design supporting bright field and polarized light scanning for mineral and material analysis.
- With Holders - The slide holder holds 2 tissue slides and guarantees consistent focus quality for standard slide thicknesses ranging from 0.8mm to 1.5mm.
- Pacific Image Exclusive Software Included - HistoView ensures objective scan analysis.
PrimeHisto XE ensures true color reproduction using a True Color Linear CCD. The self-adaptive stage maintains optimal focus across various slide thicknesses, while the 10,000 dpi resolution captures every detail for histology, biology, and mineralogy analysis. This scanner provides a wide field of view with no edge distortion, making it a cost-effective solution for digital navigation.
10,000 dpi Resolution

With the advanced resolution, PrimeHisto XE is capable of capturing and digitizing a sharp and vivid image from tissue slides.
Durable Tissue Slide Holder

Users can manually insert tissue slide holders made of durable plastic with pressure strips to ensure ensures consistent focus quality across various slide thicknesses.
True Color

Different from DSLR or CMOS scanners using area sensors with Bayer Patterns to simulate RGB, it is a true RGB linear array CCD, which provides high quality scanning at spatial and color intensity resolution.
Digital Navigation Map

PrimeHisto XE can observe a range of about 10 μm to 1 cm. This capability can effectively assist in locating areas of interest when using a microscope to examine specimens.
HistoView - Pacific Image Electronics Exclusive
- Gamma Curve Adjustment - Enhances brightness and contrast for vibrant visuals.
- Image Adjustment - Customize brightness, contrast, and saturation.
- 10,000 DPI & 16 Bit Color Depth - Achieve precision in imaging and design projects.
