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.

Book Lice Unkown Insect, Coventry CT. Mounted on Pinpoint. Very Small.

$19.00$400.00

Psocoptera are an order of insects that are commonly known as booklice, barklice or barkflies.[1] They first appeared in the Permian period, 295–248 million years ago. They are often regarded as the most primitive of the hemipteroids.[2] Their name originates from the Greek word ψῶχος, psokhosmeaning gnawed or rubbed and πτερά, ptera meaning wings.[3] There are more than 5,500 species in 41 families in three suborders. Many of these species have only been described in recent years.[4]

Hair

$19.00$400.00

Hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles found in the dermis, or skin. Hair is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. The human body, apart from areas of glabrous skin, is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and fine vellus hair. Most common interest in hair is focused on hair growth, hair types and hair care, but hair is also an important biomaterial primarily composed of protein, notably alpha-keratin.

Attitudes towards different hair, such as hairstyles and hair removal, vary widely across different cultures and historical periods, but it is often used to indicate a person’s personal beliefs or social position, such as their age, sex, or religion.[1]

Beard Hair

$19.00$400.00

A beard is the collection of hair that grows on the chin and cheeks of humans and some non-human animals. In humans, usually only pubescent or adult males are able to grow beards. From an evolutionary viewpoint the beard is a part of the broader category of androgenic hair. It is a vestigial trait from a time when humans had hair on their face and entire body like the hair on gorillas. The evolutionary loss of hair is pronounced in some populations such as indigenous Americans and some east Asian populations, who have less facial hair, whereas people of European or South Asian ancestry and the Ainu have more facial hair. Women with hirsutism, a hormonal condition of increased hairiness, may develop a beard.

Hair Follicle

$19.00$400.00

A hair follicle is a mammalian skin organ that produces hair. Hair production occurs in phases, including growth (anagen), cessation (catagen), and rest (telogen) phases. Stem cells are responsible for hair production. The shape of the hair follicle has an effect on the hair shape and texture of the individual’s hair.

Follicles are composed of epidermal cells and are made up of the bulb which is innervated and the papilla which is responsible for accessing the blood supply.
