🧭 Three Core Conclusions

• There is no single overall ranking for pathology equipment: processors are judged on capacity and reagent management, microtomes on mechanical precision, stainers on throughput and consistency.
• High throughput and end-to-end automation are concentrated among leading international brands; publicly verifiable data for Chinese manufacturers is thinner, so request datasheets and registration certificates and run trials.
• All "fastest" and "largest" figures are self-reported, so compare under identical conditions.
