OVERVIEW
The new Photo-e-Box BIO, MK Digital Direct's newest photographic lighting system, was developed due to an increasing need and request by the forensic, medical, and botanical industry-professionals, and museum curators. This new product satisfies a growing and essential need in these fields. One example is a request we received by Michael Bevans, Information Manager for Digitization at The New York Botanical Garden Herbarium. Bevans requested a compact and versatile lighting system capable of photographing approximately 3500 plants a week. Furthermore, the system needed to be safe to avoid exposing the plant specimens to high temperatures, (emitted by an traditional incandescent light source) excessive UV radiation, and to minimize handling of the specimens to prevent damage. This project is funded by the National Science Foundation in order to preserve and digitalize thousands of plant specimens. This is how the Photo-e-Box BIO was born in our factory!
