Quote workflow

Quote Workflow and Institutional Purchasing.

Configured imaging systems often need a short review before purchase so the system, optics, camera body, software, freight, and training plan match the actual application.

Configured systems

Macropod, CoreScan, MicroCoreScan, MacroBox, petrographic, granite-table, and custom system purchases may begin with a quote review rather than direct cart checkout.

Quote review helps confirm sample size, magnification needs, field of view, automation axes, portability, 3D modeling requirements, camera body, educational eligibility, freight, training, and support expectations.

Educational and institutional purchases

Educational pricing or educational software eligibility may require proof of school affiliation, institutional email, role, end-user details, and license restrictions.

Macroscopic Solutions can work with purchase orders, tax-exempt documentation, grant purchasing timelines, vendor onboarding, and freight-aware institutional receiving requirements when details are provided early.

Requesting a quote

Useful quote details include sample type, sample size, smallest feature size, required field of view, need for 3D capture, need for field portability, existing cameras or lenses, required shipping destination, and whether the buyer is a school, museum, government lab, company, or individual.
