Macropod Petrographic
The Macropod PETROGRAPHIC is a rigid photomacrography system that allows slides/thin sections to be imaged and analyzed in plain light and cross polarized light.
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.
