One main advantage of using a digital microscope during quality control is how easily operators can create photo documentation of their work. However, issues arise when the object is not flat, resulting in blurred or out of focus areas on the image. Solution? Stacking photos with varying focus heights on top of each other for one ultra-sharp image....
Cannabis farmers in the United States may have a serious chemical problem to contend with–pesticides. Right now, there aren't any federal regulations on pesticide use in cannabis farming, and laws and use can vary widely by state. Some groups are calling for explicit restriction and regulation of pesticides used by commercial growing operations. Marijuana still isn't fully legal at the federal level, and it's possible pesticide regulations won't be added until these laws are amended....
