The Histos 3 is the result of 18 milestones years of research in applying microwaves to histoprocessing and the experience of hundreds of microwave histoprocessors installed worldwide. It provides the ideal combination of processing performance, reagent efficiency, and environmental sensitivity, without sacrificing the morphologic quality histopathologists expect. The Histos 3 unit is ideally suited for histology laboratories which process small to medium size biopsies and the sample tissue thickness is no more than 3 mm.
