CoreScan PRO – Automated Imaging & Scanning System for Rock, Ice, and Sediment Cores

CoreScan PRO is a state-of-the-art automated imaging system engineered for the high-resolution capture and digital analysis of geological cores, including rock, ice, and sediment. Designed for core repositories, climate research, and mineral exploration, CoreScan PRO streamlines the core scanning process with precise linear motion, lighting control, and powerful imaging software.

From arctic ice cores to deep mineral samples, CoreScan PRO ensures consistent, calibrated imaging with minimal operator input. Each core is captured in detail, ready for annotation, archiving, and quantitative analysis. Whether deployed in the field or lab, the system enhances data reliability, enables digital preservation, and accelerates decision-making across research and exploration teams.

The MacroCore is an automated scanning platform built to automatically image sections of ice, sediment and rock cores of various depths and boring diameters.  The system stabilizes the core sample and allows the camera to combine focus stacking capabilities with panoramic photography in order to produce crystal clear results without a human presence.

Whole Drawer Digitization 3rd Axes Conversion

Bring industrial precision to scientific imaging with the Macropod Core 3rd Axes Conversion — an advanced upgrade enabling large-format panoramic imaging, 3-axis automation, and precision focus stacking. This system is engineered for clients requiring high-resolution documentation of core boxes, entomology drawers, tree cores, soil boxes, and other elongated specimens with substantial length and width.

Key Features

  • Full 3-Axis Automation: Adds a third linear rail to your Macropod Core system for complete X-Y-Z motion control, enabling seamless panoramic captures and automated focus stacking across large subjects.

  • Panoramic Imaging Workflow: Perfect for digitizing entire drawers or trays, the 3rd axis ensures complete coverage without manual repositioning.

  • Unmatched Precision: Each axis is guided by carbon-fiber rails and tension-cable alignment, ensuring micrometer-level accuracy across large surfaces.

  • Broad Compatibility: Designed for core box imaging, whole-drawer insect digitization, geological core photography, and botanical tray scanning.

  • High-Resolution Outputs: Produces photogrammetric datasets and stitched mosaics suitable for measurement, AI training, or 3D modeling.

  • Open Workflow: Integrates with software like Agisoft Metashape, Zerene Stacker, and Helicon Focus for photogrammetry and image stacking.
