PAXcam Copystand
Macro Stand for Digital Imaging

The PAXcam macro stand is a fully integrated macro workstation that includes a copystand, lighting, and zoom lens for variable magnifications for your PAXcam. Combined with the full power of the PAX-it image database software and image analysis software, this becomes a powerful package for capturing images.

• The PAXcam Copystand in action.

  Long working distance lens means the digital camera assembly is away from the specimens so it doesn't get in the way when specimens are handled.

• Many zoom ranges are possible, depending on where the system is locked. For example, PAXcam copystand can be set to zoom from a 8.5" x 11" field of view to 1.75" x 2" at 27" working distance. Or, for extremely magnified views it can be set to zoom from ca. 0.4 x 0.5" field of view to 2 x 2.75" at 8 inches working distance. Optional wide angle zoom lens is also available, for larger fields of view. The user can choose the working distance and zoom range combination that works best for their application.
  
  
• Combine with the motorized stage module for an automated macro or micro workstation—perfect for product inspection, quality control, and other repetitive viewing applications.
  
  

• PAXcam-equipped stereozoom microscope on the stand

  Optional configuration is available utilizing a PAXcam-equipped stereozoom microscope on the stand, for digital images of microscopic fields of view, measurements on inspected parts, and more.
  
  
• Unlike a normal copystand, the macro station is on a retractable arm so it can be pushed back out of the way when not in use.  Convenient and effective for pathology gross specimens, quality control work, inspection labs, or other high throughput labs.

• While zooming through the zoom range of the copystand, there is no need to readjust the lighting.

• Unlike a normal copystand, the lighting is cold light, and is mounted with the camera, not on bulky side arms.

• While zooming from the tightest to the widest fields of view, there is no need to re-focus.

• Lighting can be straight down on sample for even, shadow free illumination, or may be angled from the side to cast shadows for specimens with relief features.

• New PAX-it Quicksave function allows macro images to automatically be put into folders by project title (or accession number, or other user-defined database field entry). When micro shots are taken, they automatically find that same case folder based on the project title, and are placed there.

• Optional accessories include a large additional shelf for mounting a laptop computer, and a footswitch for controlling camera exposure and image capture.
