About Veritaxa
Veritaxa is a New Zealand company that makes the 'Classifynder', a robotic digital microscope that can classify microscopic organic particles between 5um and 100um in size and classify them based on library images.

The Classifynder Microscope System
The Classifynder microscope and software system has been targeted as an aid to Palynology (the study of pollen and spores). The system enables conventional glass slides to be scanned and the entire contents to be located, measured and the resulting digital images to be archived and then classified automatically.

Image Gallery
The Classifynder creates optical 'dark field' images of microscopic particles that are in focus across the full depth of field. To see some of these scans made by our lab, as well as our customers, take a look at our image gallery.

Lighting & lens upgrade schedule
We offer lighting and upgrade kits for prototype Gen 3 and Gen 3A Classifynder systems so as to bring these up to a common optical standard with later systems.

The Classifynder Advantage
Uniquely leverages skills, saves time
Use of the Classifynder offers significant time and labour saving for highly trained scientific resources, allowing this expertise to be much more highly leveraged.
Be connected, share the knowledge
The system creates libraries of images complete with classification parameters and geo-reference as embedded metadata. These libraries can be shared with other users for use in developing new training and reference sets and for pollen database creation.
No need for a super computer
The Classifynder software requires only conventional PC or laptop hardware with a Microsoft Windows operating systems. A typical hardware specifiction is a core i7 Intel processor with 8Mb of memory and a dedicated video processor.
Repeatable, tracable, durable
Classifynder offers excellent repeatability and consistency (the ability to re-analyse a sample and return the same result) when compared to manual counts and classifications by trained palynologists.
Small, simple, robust
The system has a small unobtrusive footprint on the lab bench; it can be easily moved and carried by one person. It’s compact and robust enough to be shipped (in its packing case) almost anywhere at low cost.
Remote support
With approriate permissions, we can access classifynder systems remotely over the internet to assist users with training or diagnosis of problems or issues.
