Abstract

Pinned insect specimens stored in museum collections are a fragile and valuable resource for entomological research. As such, they are usually kept away from viewing by the public and hard to access by experts. Here we present a method for mass imaging insect specimens, using GigaPan technology to achieve highly explorable, many-megapixel panoramas of insect museum drawers. We discuss the advantages and limitations of the system, and describe future avenues of collections research using this technology.

摘要

保存在博物馆藏品中的昆虫标本是昆虫学研究的一种脆弱而宝贵的资源。因此，它们通常不向公众展示，专家也难以获取。在此，我们介绍一种对昆虫标本进行大规模成像的方法，利用千兆像素技术实现对昆虫博物馆抽屉的高度可探索、数百万像素的全景图像。我们讨论了该系统的优缺点，并描述了使用这项技术进行藏品研究的未来途径。
