The Macropod Pro 3D & Micro Kit is a lab and field based photomacrography and photogrammetry system. The equipment in this package offers imaging capabilities that can capture details of objects ~1 μm in size and any object or scene > 1 μm. The Macropod is GPS enabled for field use and collapses into a high quality field pack for easy transport. This package also includes a vertical stand for downward shooting if necessary.

The Macropod Pro 3D & Micro Kit includes a multi-axis, rugged, portable photomacrography system, which allows the user to make razor sharp, fully focused photographs, 3D files and rotational videos of small sized specimens at 21-megapixel resolution. It overcomes the extreme Depth of Field (DOF) limitations inherent in optics designed to image smaller specimens. Normally lenses designed for macro will only render one tenth to one hundredth of the depth of the targeted specimen in sharp focus at any one exposure. The Macropod allows the user to select and make multiple exposures in precise increments along the Z-axis (depth) such that each exposure’s area of sharp focus overlaps with the previous and next exposure. These source images is then transferred to a computer and merged by an image-stacking program. The stacking program finds and stitches together only the focused pixels from each exposure into one image. The Macropod integrates industry-leading components in a novel and elegant way to achieve these results.
