MicroCoreScan – Automated Imaging System for Tree Rings, Dendrochronology, and Small Cores

Price range: $29,757.00 through $30,657.00

MicroCoreScan is a precision imaging system built for automated scanning of small-diameter cores, including tree cores, soil plugs, peat cores, and resin samples. Designed with dendrochronologists, ecologists, and conservation scientists in mind, this compact yet powerful system captures high-resolution images of even the finest growth rings and microstructures with minimal handling.

With controlled linear motion, uniform lighting, and advanced imaging optics, MicroCoreScan ensures repeatable and distortion-free scans, enabling efficient workflows for tree-ring dating, growth analysis, carbon studies, and environmental monitoring. Whether used in field labs or research institutions, MicroCoreScan brings clarity, consistency, and speed to core analysis.

Description

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.

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).

The optional Excitation Filters will convert the MicroCore into a system that is capable of capturing fluorescence. They are compatible with any system by Macroscopic Solutions.  Blue excitation fluorescence filters are designed with a narrow passband excitation range (20 nanometers).  The longpass barrier (emission) filter is capable of transmitting signals from green, yellow and red fluorophores that have significant absorption in the upper blue wavelength region.  The filters have a longpass dichromatic mirror with a cut-on wavelength of 505 nanometers.

Tax Conditions: We ship to all states and countries that are legally allowed.  The buyer is responisble for any duties, taxes or customs fees occurred in shipping of products.  We do not collect VAT/PST/GST/Sales Taxes prior to shipment — you will be responsible for these charges upon delivery based on your regions use tax policies.  Thank you for your understanding.
