Turf-Tec MACROSCOPE portable microscopes are the perfect solution for those seeking high-quality imaging in a simple, cost-effective design. Ideal for fieldwork, research, production, quality control, or any application requiring superior image resolution, these portable units prioritize ease of use without sacrificing optical or mechanical performance. Unlike complex laboratory microscopes, Turf-Tec MACROSCOPES offer a straightforward design that delivers exceptional results at a fraction of the cost.
Available in three fixed magnification options—20X, 40X, and 100X—these units provide clear, bright, and high-contrast images suitable for a variety of tasks. Each MACROSCOPE features a calibrated measuring reticle for precise object measurement and is built with durable aluminum, stainless steel components, and premium glass optics for long-lasting reliability. Every unit also includes a penlight for enhanced visibility.
- Turf-Tec MACROSCOPE 20X: Offers 20X magnification with a 5/16 inch (0.8 mm) field of view, perfect for identifying insects in turfgrass environments.
- Turf-Tec MACROSCOPE 40X: Provides 40X magnification with a 3/16 inch (0.4 mm) field of view, making it ideal for diagnosing turfgrass diseases.
- Turf-Tec MACROSCOPE 100X: Delivers 100X magnification with a 1/16 inch (0.15 mm) field of view, excellent for detailed disease diagnosis on turfgrass plants.
All models produce positional-correct images, ensuring users can easily pinpoint areas of interest, even in challenging conditions or with minimal experience. Designed for portability, these microscopes can be used in the field or for examining large, immovable objects like golf greens, sports fields, bridge components, aircraft surfaces, and cement structures without requiring destructive sampling.
Turf-Tec MACROSCOPES are versatile tools suitable for a wide range of disciplines, including archeology, botany, entomology, forensics, geology, horticulture, numismatics, philately, quality control, and textiles. They have also proven effective in diagnosing critical agricultural diseases:
- Asian Soybean Rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi): A fungal disease that can rapidly defoliate soybean plants and reduce yield.
- Citrus Greening (Huanglongbing): A severe bacterial disease of citrus spread by the Asian Citrus Psyllid.
- Whitefly Identification: Useful for identifying cryptic or Silverleaf Whitefly species (Bemisia Tabaci, Q vs. B).
Turf-Tec MACROSCOPES combine durability, portability, and precision, making them an essential tool for professionals across a variety of industries. Whether you're in the lab or the field, these microscopes deliver reliable performance every time.
