This group was created to house macro images that provide scientific data and show scientific beauty. You do not have to be a scientist to include your images, just be sure they are scientific in nature. Please join the group today to browse the extensive image collection and submit some of your favorite images!

Past Events
The 10th North American Paleontological Convention
Last month, from February 15-18, Macroscopic Solutions exhibited their high resolution imaging device and techniques at the highly anticipated North American Paleontological Convention in Gainesville, Florida! Because this event takes place only once every 4-5 years, it attracts professional paleontologists and enthusiasts from all over the world. This year, over 500 people flocked to the University of Florida Hilton Conference Center from 26 different countries. The Paleontological Society administered the convention, having arranged a wide variety of sessions focused on new research topics and techniques within the multiple disciplines of paleontology. This convention enhanced communication between professionals  and enthusiasts, while bridging the gaps that exist between scientific disciplines.
Macroscopic Solutions attracted the majority of attendees to their booth, displayed their imaging device, the Macropod, explained its functions, and captured several great images. Luckily, many of the attendees were carrying some of their favorite fossils, and had them imaged by Macroscopic Solutions. You can view many of these images here. |
Entomology 2013
The 3,400 in attendance at the 2013 Entomological Society of America conference made for an incredible turnout in Austin, TX. There were more than 50 exhibitors, including Macroscopic Solutions. The conference proved to be a great success, providing a positive environment for those interested in entomology.
Macroscopic Solutions was asked to provide some information on their imaging technology, which was then featured in Entomology Today.

Macroscopic Solutions to Sponsor Potable Water Project
Team up with Macroscopic Solutions to provide potable water to students and teachers at the Government Bilingual High School of Dschang in the village of Dschang, Cameroon. Each day, most all of the members of the school go the entire school day without drinking water. For those that do drink at school, the water is often found at an unreliable source, such as a local stream, or from local people. This is an unhealthy practice that puts the wellbeing of these people at risk. Macroscopic Solutions asks you to join in and keep these students and teachers hydrated, healthy, and motivated.
