The Herbarium Digital Imaging Center contains 9 specimen imaging workstations. Two are equipped with external LED panels at open copy stands (i.e. no lightbox) and seven utilize a tabletop MK Photo-eBox [1] 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 copy stands are recommended for bulky or oversized specimens, bound exsiccatae, imaging multiple packets on sheets, and other materials not easily photographed inside the Photo-eBox.
