Abstract:
The ultra-depth microscopic system is a powerful tool for
research on insect morphology and taxonomy, due to its wide field of view, high
resolution, practical split-screen selection functions, rapid measurement
tools, and particularly, its 3D synthesis function that allows clear images of
insect specimens. This article introduces the structure, function, advantages,
and operating precautions of the ultra-depth microscopic system, as well as its
application in the study of insect morphology. Using Bemisia tabaci as
an example, we demonstrate, step by step, the comprehensive application of the
ultra-depth microscopic system in insect morphological research, such as
startup preparation, capturing images, high-magnification observation,
measurement, and 3D synthesis.
