Technical update

Upcoming Software Enhancement Release for NanoZoomer® Digital Scanners

Upcoming Software Enhancement Release for NanoZoomer® Digital Scanners

An upcoming software enhancement release for NanoZoomer® Digital Scanners introduces new capabilities designed to improve scanning efficiency, image consistency, and workflow optimization in digital pathology laboratories.

New capabilities include:


Intelligence Mode – AI-Optimized Scanning
A new intelligent tissue detection approach helps streamline the scanning process by reducing unnecessary scanning areas, supporting more efficient workflows with less manual intervention.


Optimized Gamma Correction
A new gamma-corrected imaging pipeline improves image consistency across third-party viewers while helping optimize file storage and data handling.


Benefits for laboratories:

  • Higher scanning throughput

  • Improved acquisition reliability and viewing consistency

  • Reduced storage requirements and IT overhead

  • More streamlined workflows for laboratory technicians

These enhancements are available to customers with an active NanoZoomer® service contract. For upgrade scheduling or additional information, please contact your local Hamamatsu contact.
