Open larger viewerPaleontology, fossil collections, morphology, and geoscience research
Document fossils from whole-specimen context to fine morphological detail.
Build repeatable imaging records for fossils, bones, teeth, microfossils, slabs, and collection objects. Match whole-object capture, focus stacking, objective detail, controlled lighting, and 3D models to the features researchers need to examine.
Choose your next step
Start with what you need to see—not the equipment.
Answer the practical questions that apply to your work. Then choose an imaging system, an imaging-service project, or a complete workflow that fits.
- Do you need a whole fossil record, fine morphology, or both?
- Macropod PRO 3D captures whole specimens and controlled macro detail; the Micro Kit adds objective-based detail for smaller features. The required field of view and working distance determine the setup.
- When does fossil imaging need a 3D model?
- A controlled multi-angle sequence and photogrammetry can create a shareable model when surface, scale, and intended use support that workflow.
Why Macroscopic Solutions
A scientific imaging workflow—not just a camera or microscope.
Since 2013, Macroscopic Solutions has helped research, public-sector, and technical teams turn difficult samples into useful visual records. We connect the system, optics, lighting, software, training, and service work around the result you need.
- See the whole picture and the fine detail.Move from context to the features that matter without losing the relationship between them.
- Make the useful view repeatable.Match the sample, scale, lighting, motion, and output to a documented imaging workflow.
- Get practical help before and after purchase.Use application guidance, training, software support, and imaging services when equipment is not the immediate answer.
