Macroscope, 40x Power with Light Pen

The Turf-Tec MACROSCOPE portable monocular microscopes are designed to deliver exceptional image quality in a simple, cost-effective design, perfect for use in the field, research, production, quality control, and more. Departing from the trend of overly complex features, Turf-Tec MACROSCOPES focus on simplicity and ease of use while maintaining high optical and mechanical quality. Available in three magnifications—20X, 40X, and 100X—these units provide superior image resolution, contrast, brightness, and field of view, rivaling laboratory instruments at a fraction of the cost. Each model includes a calibrated measuring reticle for precise object measurements.

Constructed from solid aluminum with stainless steel parts and glass optics, these microscopes are built for durability and long life. A penlight is included with each unit for added convenience.

• Turf-Tec MACROSCOPE 20X: This fixed magnification unit provides 20X magnification with a 5/16" (0.8 mm) field of view, ideal for insect identification in turfgrass environments.
• Turf-Tec MACROSCOPE 40X: Offering 40X magnification with a 3/16" (0.4 mm) field of view, this unit is perfect for diagnosing turfgrass diseases and performs on par with high-cost instruments.
• Turf-Tec MACROSCOPE 100X: The 100X unit delivers a 1/16" (0.15 mm) field of view, excelling in disease diagnosis for turfgrass and other plants, with outstanding performance and ease of use.

All three units produce images that are positionally correct, making it easier to focus on the desired area, even for inexperienced users. Designed for portability, these microscopes are ideal for fieldwork and can be used on large or immovable objects like sports fields, golf greens, bridge structures, aircraft parts, and more, eliminating the need for destructive sampling.

The Turf-Tec MACROSCOPE has diverse applications across fields like archeology, botany, entomology, forensics, geology, horticulture, quality control, numismatics, and textiles. It has proven effective for diagnosing plant diseases, including Asian Soybean Rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi), a fast-spreading fungal disease affecting soybean crops, and Citrus Greening (Huanglongbing), a serious bacterial disease in citrus caused by the Asian Citrus Psyllid. Additionally, the MACROSCOPE 45X is useful for identifying Whitefly species (Bemisia tabaci).

Turf-Tec MACROSCOPES combine portability, precision, and performance, making them an essential tool for professionals across numerous disciplines.
