Macroscopic Solutions provides contract scientific imaging when a project needs more detail, consistency, scale, or optical control than ordinary photography, scanners, or microscopes can provide. Compare all seven services below, from one specimen or slide to complete collections, core, linear samples, large subjects, and 3D models.
Scale-aware, focus-stacked macro and micro imaging for specimens, products, museum collections, teaching material, research documentation, and publication figures.
- Single specimens, products, and technical subjects
- Museum, university, and teaching collections
- Publication-ready macro and micro outputs
High-quality petrographic slide and microscope slide capture for transmitted light, polarized light, brightfield documentation, comparison plates, and scale-aware image sets.
- Petrographic thin sections
- Plain, crossed-polarized, and transmitted light
- Scale-aware microscope slide documentation
Controlled image capture, focus stacking, Agisoft Metashape processing, scaling, and textured 3D model delivery for research, exhibits, teaching, and digital collections.
- Image sets captured for 3D reconstruction
- Textured, scaled 3D model deliverables
- Metashape processing and workflow review
High-resolution core scanning and long-sample imaging for drill core, slabbed core, rock, mining, geoscience, petrographic context, and stitched documentation records.
- Drill core and slabbed core
- Long-format geoscience and mining records
- Stitched panoramas and inspection deliverables
Repeatable image capture and file organization for collection groups that need consistent views, scale, labels, and durable digital records.
- Museum drawers and grouped specimens
- Teaching sets and comparative records
- Repeatable views and organized deliverables
Matched long-format captures for samples, intervals, rows, stages, or time points that must remain visually comparable.
- Tree cores and dendrochronology samples
- Developmental or growth sequences
- Matched repeatable long-format records
High-resolution composite imaging when the subject is too broad, uneven, fragile, or detailed for an ordinary flatbed scanner or single camera frame.
- Seed trays, soil monoliths, and collection drawers
- Slabs, panels, artwork, and exhibit material
- Stitched detail for archive, print, or inspection
Large-format imaging in use
From a complete scene to print-scale detail.
Macroscopic Solutions created high-resolution imagery for Eykon’s Carnival Cruise Lines bathroom-wallpaper installation. It is a useful example of the same controlled, composite capture approach used for large panels, exhibits, technical displays, collections, and detailed commercial print.
Send the sample type, target detail, field of view, required scale, desired deliverable, and deadline. We can recommend the right capture approach for scientific images, 3D models, core scans, thin sections, and large-format records.
