MicroCore & Micro Kit

$45,952.00 – $46,852.00

Note, the total cost can be reduced by removing any number of the 5 objectives provided with this system.

Showing a microscopic section from the tree core sample shared below where the rings are most narrow.  The image was captured at 200x magnification using the Mitutoyo 20x Micro Lens (Micro Kit Required).

Tree Core at 200x magnification (20x Optic)

Showing the complete coring section through the diameter of the tree sample.  The image was captured at 50x magnification using the 1-5x MP-E 65mm Macro Lens.

Tree Core Cross Section for Context (50x Magnification)

The MicroCore is an automated scanning platform built to automatically image small shafted sections of tree core at various depths and 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.  The system includes the fluorescence kit.

The innovative lighting configuration allows for completely balanced images using methods from reflected light microscopy.  The lighting configuration simulates illumination methods used by the Macropod PRO 3D line.  In this case, flashes are strategically positioned behind the sample in order to reflect diffused light onto the surface of the sample.  This completely eliminates the requirement for polarizers and balances the final image to be free from glare and other artifacts common in microscopy and flash photography.  See the images below for examples.

Gneiss from Queenstown, New Zealand

$19.00 – $400.00

Gneiss ( /ˈnaɪs/) is a common distributed type of rock formed by high-grade regional metamorphic processes from pre-existing formations that were originally either igneous or sedimentary rocks. It is often foliated (composed of layers of sheet-like planar structures). The foliations are characterized by alternating darker and lighter colored bands, called “gneissic banding”.

Polished K Feldspar-Epidote-Quartz-Biotite Matrix

$19.00 – $400.00

Feldspars are a group of rock-forming tectosilicateminerals that make up about 41% of the Earth‘s continental crust by weight.[2]

Feldspars crystallize from magma as veins in both intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks and are also present in many types of metamorphic rock.[3] Rock formed almost entirely of calcic plagioclase feldspar (see below) is known as anorthosite.[4] Feldspars are also found in many types of sedimentary rocks.[5]
