Analysis with nacrophotography station

Benefit description

Acquisition of digital images using EVOCAM II (Vision Engineering) macrophotography equipment of biological samples and / or packaging materials for the scientific analysis of morphological properties, color, dimensions and numerical counting. Visual fields for samples of size between 0.2 * 0.3 and 10-20 cm approximately, very common in the area of ¿¿food science and technology research. The support (double arm stand) allows you to capture digital images or videos of samples with a moderate height (up to several centimeters in height of the sample), as well as to rotate the position of the camera in many directions according to the needs. The types of samples that the researchers tell us to intend to photograph and analyze with this equipment are: ¿ Materials (mainly packaging): Films and encapsulating food packaging particles that may include bacteria, metals and other agents of technological or scientific interest). Protective coatings in gel form. ¿ Structure of a great variety of foods: study of physical and structural properties related to the development of new products or characterization of existing ones, and relate it to the organoleptic properties. Ex: Breads, pastries, meat products, vegetables, cereals ... etc. ¿ Citrus fruits: study parameters of superficial infection, evolution of fruit color, ... etc. ¿ Sections of plant material: Fruits, stems, flowers ¿ Protein separation gels ¿ Petri and multi-well plates with varied content: filamentous fungi, bacterial and yeast colonies. The equipment is equipped with software that allows not only to capture visual information, but also to generate excellent selective selections of specific elements of digital scientific images to obtain data reports tabulated or graphed from computerized techniques for obtaining morphological data measurements, of signal intensity and counting elements, assisted by the computer .
