DrawerScan systems are designed for high-resolution imaging of large specimen collections and scientific drawers, including soil monoliths, entomology drawers, and other curated research samples. The system allows museums, universities, and research institutions to digitize entire drawers or specimen trays quickly while preserving exceptional image clarity and color accuracy.
Using precision motion control and high-resolution imaging, DrawerScan captures overlapping images across the entire drawer and stitches them into seamless panoramic composites. This allows researchers to view, zoom, and analyze individual specimens without removing them from their curated storage.
DrawerScan is particularly valuable for digitizing entomology collections, documenting soil monolith profiles, archiving natural history collections, and creating searchable digital databases for museums and research institutions. By converting physical collections into detailed digital imagery, DrawerScan enables improved documentation, remote research access, and long-term preservation of valuable scientific collections.

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.
