iDigBio will host two workshops in September on digitization of biological specimens. Both training events will be accessible online.
Fluid-preserved Invertebrate and Microscopic Slide Imaging
This workshop focuses on imaging techniques for fluid-preserved invertebrates and microscopic slides. The primary goal is to prepare participants for imaging these difficult to record collection objects.
