iPhone 5!? Nope. Even better! TDWG Conference

Just in time for the release of the iPhone 5, the long awaited TDWG 2011 Conference Draft Program has just been posted.

TDWG Conference - Standardized Digital Imaging and Archiving Procedures

I have recently had several requests for information regarding the new Herbarium imaging stations.

I am in the early stages of preparing a step by step guide to building one, but as you can see from the images below, it's a simple design (and fairly easy to set up, once you have the right parts).

I hope to present this, along with a more comprehensive discussion about imaging and archiving procedures at the upcoming TDWG Conference in New Orleans.

I will be posting all of this information online. Please stay tuned.
