Description
MacroBox Scanner 2 Meter 3-Axis Rig Only. MacroBox Scanner is a large-format, down-facing, no-touch imaging and focus-stacking array for objects that should not be pressed against glass, fed through rollers, or forced into a flatbed scanner workflow. It is built for whole insect drawers, butterfly trays, museum collection drawers, soil monoliths, seed trays, chip trays, slabs, paintings, cultural heritage objects, agricultural samples, and other broad materials where surface detail, color, scale, and repeatability matter.
Why MacroBox Instead of a Scanner?
No-touch whole-drawer capture
The sample stays in place. There is no scanner lid pressure, glass contact, roller path, or handling step that can damage pinned insects, fragile soil, seed, art, paper, or heritage materials.
Focus stacking for real surfaces
Flatbed scanners assume the object is flat. MacroBox can focus stack uneven seed trays, textured paintings, mineral slabs, thick labels, soil relief, and tray contents with meaningful depth.
Controlled light and color
The camera and lighting workflow can be tuned for glare control, shadows, color targets, scale bars, and repeatable archival documentation rather than consumer-office scanning.
Large-area stitched output
Automated rail movement supports wide fields up to the selected rail length so long trays, large panels, monoliths, and slabs can be captured at high detail.
Best Fit Applications
- Whole insect drawers, butterfly drawers, pinned specimen boxes, teaching drawers, and museum collection trays
- Soil monoliths, soil blocks, sediment slabs, and agricultural research samples
- Seed trays, germination trays, plant pathology trays, crop-science trays, and greenhouse studies
- Chip trays, ore samples, mineral slabs, stone slabs, concrete cores, and cut material surfaces
- Paintings, works on paper, textiles, maps, labels, framed objects, and fragile cultural heritage items
- Large fossils, casts, archaeological surfaces, forensic panels, industrial inspection samples, and conservation records
- Any large, flat-to-uneven object where non-contact imaging, focus stacking, controlled lighting, and scale-aware output outperform ordinary scanning
