Camera Options
The system works with many different models of cameras. We typically use and recommend the following cameras.
Lens Options
Macro and microscopic lenses are interchangeable on the Magnify2. Determine the level of detail and resolution you need then match that need to the lens. Other options are available, however, we recommend these lenses for most applications.
| Lens | Key Features | Magnification | Microns per Pixel using Canon T8i |
| Canon 100mm Macro | Covers very wide field of view for low magnification work. | 0.25X to 1X | 17.2 at 0.25X, 4.28 at 1X |
| Canon MPE 65mm | Excellent general purpose lens. | 1X to 5X | 4.28 at 1X, 0.85 at 5X |
| Nikon Toolmakers Telecentric Microscope Objectives | Ideal for high precision measurement applications. | 1X, 3X, 5X, 10X | 4.28 at 1X, 0.42 at 10X |
| Nikon Infinity Corrected Microscope Objectives | Superior quality for low-relief subjects such as microscope slides. | 10X | 0.42 at 10X |
Additional Options
Transmissive Lighting (Backlighting) Option
Lighting the subject from the back dramatically expands the capabilities of the Magnify2 system. Use it for digitizing slides, x-rays, semi-translucent parts, or simply brightening the background of your subject.
Learn MoreBatch Digitization Templates
Image multiple subjects in a single batch using digitization templates. Each subject is saved individual project with its own data folder.
Learn MoreCross Polarization
Use cross polarization to reduce glare on subjects and for special applications such as geology thin section slides. The effect is dramatic and useful for a variety of applications.
Learn MoreNikon Toolmakers Objectives
The finite microscope objectives are telecentric (parallax free), have an outstanding working distance, and produce crisp images.
