GIGAmacro Magnify2 Robotic Imaging System
The Magnify2 Macro Object Scanner is designed for creating gigapixel resolution imagery of macroscopic and microscopic subjects. The complete turn-key system provides the robotics, optics, camera, software, and computer to create GIGAmacro images of LARGE samples with ease.
Complete, Comprehensive, Capable
Our emphasis on build quality, training and support ensure high throughput and continuous operation for scanning large collections. Everything you need to capture, store, share and annotate detailed, sharp images.
High Volume Throughput
Use our Template system to go from individual specimen capture to high volume, multi-specimen, automated capture. Saves money and reduces operational costs by automation and use of off-the-shelf cameras and lenses.
See Unprecedented Detail
Zoom into and move around a hugely detailed, completely in focus, image. See normally invisible details: unprecedented image quality and resolution, to micron scale. See Examples in our gallery.
View Images Anywhere
On Mobile Devices, Web Browser or Desktop. The GIGAmacro Viewer lets you zoom to see incredible, sharp detail; scroll around the complete image, mark up and share information or insights on detailed images via your mobile device or a web browser.
Get 3D Data
Capture and export 3D data from small low-relief objects, using our GIGAmacro magnify2 system to capture the photos and off the shelf software to process and convert the data into a 3D object.
Automated Capture
Complete solution including robotic automation, image capture, post-processing, and online viewing, sharing, and annotation. Let the system do the work for you with automated robotic controls. Set up your subject or specimen and leave the Magnify2 to finish the task.
