Description
System overview
| Imaging platform | specified-length down-facing three-axis array for no-touch capture of drawers, trays, slabs and broad surfaces. |
|---|---|
| Camera and motion | Canon EOS R5 with controlled rail positioning and focus stacking. |
| Illumination | Four Godox MF12 flashes with trigger and auxiliary LED lighting for repeatable surface capture. |
| Output workflow | Overlapping, focus-stacked tiles support large-area stitched records while specimens remain in place. |
Scientific optics included
- Canon MP-E 65 mm 1–5× macro
- Canon RF 100 mm f/2.8 macro
The complete microscope-objective optical path is not specified for this MacroBox configuration. Confirm any objectives and compatible tube lens in the itemized quote before relying on objective imaging.
Field of view guide
| Whole drawer or tray | Stitched rail passes cover the selected object footprint without glass contact or compression. |
|---|---|
| Surface detail | The RF 100 mm macro provides close-up regions; the MP-E 65 mm covers smaller features where working distance allows. |
| Color and scale | Include an in-plane scale and color target in the capture plan; document lighting, tile overlap and focus-stack settings. |
Field descriptions guide capture planning. Physical field width and measurement accuracy depend on the camera, optics, working distance and a separately verified specimen-plane calibration. The itemized quote confirms the exact supplied configuration.
MacroBox Scanner Third-Axis Conversion. This conversion path supports large-format no-touch imaging workflows that need additional automated positioning for trays, panels, slabs, seed studies, soil monoliths, and collection documentation. It belongs with the MacroBox Scanner family and should be reviewed through quote request so the existing rail platform, camera path, lighting, motion control, and sample geometry can be confirmed.
Configuration Review
Use this conversion when an existing MacroBox-style system needs expanded third-axis movement or when a large-format tray/documentation build requires additional automated positioning. Final fit depends on the current hardware, capture area, sample height, lighting path, and controller configuration.
