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.
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.

The Phasmatodea are an order of insects, whose members are variously known as stick insects (in Europe and Australasia), walking sticks or stick-bugs (in the United States and Canada), phasmids, ghost insects and leaf insects (generally the family Phylliidae). The ordinal name is derived from the Ancient Greek φάσμα phasma, meaning an apparition or phantom, and refers to the resemblance of many species to sticks or leaves. Their natural camouflage can make them extremely difficult to spot. Phasmatodea can be found all over the world in warmer zones, especially the tropics and subtropics. The greatest diversity is found in Southeast Asia and South America, followed by Australia. Phasmids also have a considerable presence in the continental United States, mainly in the Southeast.
This hummingbird is from 7 to 9 cm (2.8 to 3.5 in) long and has an 8 to 11 cm (3.1 to 4.3 in) wingspan. Weight can range from 2 to 6 g (0.071 to 0.212 oz), with males averaging 3.4 g (0.12 oz) against the slightly larger female which averages 3.8 g (0.13 oz).[3][4] Adults are metallic green above and greyish white below, with near-black wings. Their bill, at up to 2 cm (0.79 in), is long, straight, and very slender. As in all hummingbirds, the toes and feet of this species are quite small, with a middle toe of around 0.6 cm (0.24 in) and a tarsus of approximately 0.4 cm (0.16 in). The ruby-throated hummingbird can only fox-trot if it wants to move along a branch, though it can scratch its head and neck with its feet.
