Entomology
Observation of insects and arthropods for identification, teaching, and scientific documentation.
Smart G-Scope clearly reveals morphological details (wings, legs, antennae, segments), supporting identification and classification.
It is especially useful for teaching and outreach thanks to its simplicity: connect and display specimens on a screen.
It also supports photo documentation and comparisons between specimens.
Key benefits
- Comfortable on-screen viewing for work and teaching
- Image capture for catalogs or records
- Autofocus is helpful for small samples
- Easy to move between classrooms and labs
Practical examples
Species identification by traits
Observe wing patterns, compound eyes, antennae, or segments to distinguish similar species.
Recording and cataloging
Create a consistent photo archive of specimens with annotations and measurements.
Biology education
Show structures and traits in real time on a screen to explain morphology visually.
Limitations & best practices
- For extremely small microstructures, specialized higher-magnification equipment may be required.
- Controlled lighting is recommended to avoid harsh shadows on 3D samples.
