Stage Only: The aluminum universal stage and platform only.
Diffuser Dome Only: The flash diffuser designed to fit over the Cognisys Rotational Stage.
Stage, Riser Adapter, Flash Clamp and Dome: A complete package allowing for flash placement, light diffusion and height adjustment depending on your system.
The vertical stand includes a 12″ x 8″ base and a 3/4″ x 10″ tall aluminum rod. The base is suitable for repositioning the Macropod PRO into a vertical position for any application.

The Excitation Filters will convert the Macropod into a system that is capable of capturing fluorescence. They will work with any camera utilizing the MT-24 EX Dual twin lite flash by Canon. It is recommended that the Macropod be used for magnifications greater than 5x due to the reduced levels of light being emitted.
Blue excitation fluorescence filters are designed with a narrow passband excitation range (20 nanometers) in order to minimize autofluorescence and photobleaching. The longpass barrier (emission) filter is capable of transmitting signals from green, yellow, and red fluorophores that have significant absorption in the upper blue wavelength region. The filters have a longpass dichromatic mirror with a cut-on wavelength of 505 nanometers.


The device is made to work with specific flash units. We have options from the Yongnuo YN-24EX, Canon MT-26EX-RT, Canon MT 24EX and Godox MF12 (Recommended). We strongly recommend using the Godox MF12 Flash units as they are wireless and allow for seamless control with the flash unit. Flash units are not required, but recommended when imaging. The analyzers are equipped with LED lights.
The rotary stage includes 4 screws in order to be mounted to the base plate (not included).

The base plate is designed to fix the x, y translational stage (not included) and the rotary stage (not included) to a sturdy platform. 
Precision Rotational Stage for 3D Scanning, Photogrammetry, and Metrology Applications
The Macroscopic Solutions 225 mm Photogrammetry Turntable is a high-precision, pattern-coded rotational platform designed to deliver exceptional accuracy for 3D model reconstruction, object alignment, and multi-angle imaging workflows. Featuring a Cognisys™ motorized rotation base, this turntable offers smooth, repeatable motion ideal for use with photogrammetry software such as Agisoft Metashape, RealityCapture, and Meshroom.
The top plate’s high-contrast geometric calibration pattern enhances computer vision tracking and feature detection, ensuring superior alignment and point-cloud accuracy. Integrated mounting posts provide flexible sample stabilization and can be removed or repositioned to accommodate various specimen geometries.

This diffuser is custom designed for the Godox MF12 Twin Lite Macro Flash. The inner deflector reflects light onto the conical structure of the diffuser. This section projects soft light onto your subject without losing too much light form the source. These diffusers are a must have for any photographer working with the MF12 Flash by Godox! These dual diffusers no longer warm the subject and cast a brighter, more lively look onto your subject. Phew!! A rigid macro diffuser that withstands heavy field use. Mirror tests shown below indicate the level of diffusion offered by the Turtledove Diffusers. Flash and camera settings are at Flash 1/32, EXP 1/200, f4.0, and ISO 200. |
