Gigapixel Imaging Applications

Magnify2 adapts to the way you work. From geology and entomology to manufacturing, forensics, and collections imaging, the system delivers consistent, ultra-high-resolution results across an exceptionally wide range of sample types and workflows.

Manufacturing

Enable engineers and QC teams with the ability to inspect, measure, and document components with gigapixel clarity across large areas. It’s ideal for identifying defects, verifying tolerances, and communicating findings across manufacturing workflows.

  • Surface finish and tool-mark inspection

  • Failure analysis and fracture documentation

  • PCB/component examination

  • Comparative documentation for supplier QA

Geology & Earth Sciences

Create expansive, high-resolution images of geological samples—revealing structures, mineral textures, and micro-scale features while retaining full sample context. Ideal for research, teaching, and public outreach.

  • Thin-section imaging with cross-polarization

  • Hand sample and outcrop fragment documentation

  • Fossil morphology and microtexture analysis

  • Petrographic comparison & mineral identification

  • Core Cross Section Imaging

Entomology & Life Sciences

Capture expansive, high-resolution images of geological samples—revealing structures, mineral textures, and micro-scale features while retaining full sample context. Ideal for research, teaching, and public outreach.
