How to reserve a camera station
Overview
The Herbarium Digital Imaging Center currently contains 7 specimen imaging workstations. Two are equipped with studio flash lighting and five utilize a tabletop Photo-eBox with continuous illumination. Any imaging station may be used for any Herbarium digitization project.
- The Photo-eBox is the preferred choice for photographing standard-sized herbarium specimen sheets.
- The open copystand setup at a flash lighting station is recommended for bulky or oversized specimens, bound exsiccatae, and other materials not easily photographed inside the Photo-eBox.
Each camera station is numbered and must be reserved prior to use. You must have an NYBG email address and have been granted access to the "Herbarium Calendars" in order to make a reservation. Contact Kim Watson if you need the latter.
