Imaging Workflows for the Digitization of Dry-preserved Vertebrate Specimens

"Imaging Workflows for the Digitization of Dry-preserved Vertebrate Specimens" summarizes why the digitization of dry-preserved vertebrate specimen collections is important and what types of specimen collections are considered dry-preserved collections. The video then details the four primary task clusters associated with digitization and imaging including selecting specimens, pre-digitization specimen curation and staging, image capture, and image processing. The video also gives specific tips for imaging dry collections including deciding which specimens and views to capture, imaging tools and equipment, and image stacking.
