Macroscopic Solutions

Mark was very helpful in walking us through reorienting our camera setup and answering any questions we had about the imaging process. With his guidance our image quality greatly improved and the overall step by step process is much more fluid for us now.

Macroscopic Solution's Macropod Pro digital setup produces the most accurate, precise and overall beautiful images of beetles I've ever been able to take. The quality is so remarkable that I am retaking images of beetles that were done before for a West Indian flea beetle genera project as images that are taken on other imaging systems are not adequate any longer. Attached are images of a flea beetle Alagoasa and a buprestid Chrysobothris (curtesy of N. Woodley). Thank you Mark Smith!

I worked with Mark Smith at Macroscopic solutions this past summer to purchase and modify an imaging system that is portable and can take high quality photographs of very small wasps (0.5 -3 mm). The posted photograph illustrates the quality of images that I was able to produce and I am very pleased! Customer service is excellent: Mark responds to email inquiries with lightning speed, and is ever ready to help with customization and he puts feedback to good use. I have since purchased a second system for use with larger insects (0.5-5 cm) and am similarly pleased with the results.

I highly recommend Macroscopic Solutions. They worked with me to develop a perfect solution for my macrophotography needs. The set-up is portable, easy to set up, and easy to use. More importantly to me, however, has been the outstanding service provided. They have been responsive to every query and have helped me develop a method and throughput that works perfect for me.

I'm a microscopy technician at a university where we have the Macropod Pro and Micro Kit. The set up of the instrument is easy once you learn how to use it. Macroscopic Solutions has great customer service and always answers my questions in a helpful and pleasant manner. They have provided me with great tips on how to perfect my images. The photo quality is superb and is definitely research quality. I highly recommend Macroscopic Solutions and the Macropod for anyone who wants full color, high resolution, high magnification photos.
