Entomology
Picturae’s latest innovation for pinned insect collections, bringing conveyor belt technology to the forefront of entomology digitization innovation.
Pinning Down a Solution
Digitizing large numbers of specimens with precision, care, and speed has been a need of the entomology community for years. With in-house led digitization efforts, entomological collections faced decades of work to make their collections digital. Now, with Picturae’s latest innovation in conveyor driven entomology digitization, what once would take decades can now take months.
Entomology Conveyor
This entomology digitization solution is designed to care for each specimen from staging, to capture, to return. With a trained team of professionals staging each specimen, and an automated 3-step imaging approach, all specimens and their label data are captured and returned safely to their drawer in a matter of minutes.
Endless Research Potential
Digitizing entomology collections with Picturae means an online searchable collection, where every specimen gets its own place. Our entomology digitization takes into account unique specimen needs to prevent damage and information loss. When a project is complete, the collection will be easily accessible and searchable for researchers, scientists, students, and beyond.
Museum für Naturkunde Berlin
With a total collection of more than 20 million specimens, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin is one of the biggest and most important institutes worldwide. In cooperation with Picturae, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin started to digitize part of their pinned insect collection. In two years time, more than 650,000 specimens went over our revolutionary Entomology Conveyor.
