Are there other accessories are recommended for optimal imaging?From the many trials and testing, we know that different environments can offer some challenges in capturing a quality image for analysis. A Beak Adaptor is recommended for the most accurate image collection. It helps block any unwanted bright light from interfering with your analysis ensuring you have the most accurate data on your meat. An exterior barcode reader can also help if time is of the essence, and you are using the beak adapter. We know in some cases you only have seconds for tag scan and image capture, so an exterior barcode reader can ensure accurate and timely scanning while imaging.
