Purpose of lightbox testing, recap: • Attempt to decrease size of lighting setup. Particularly height. • Create a more mobile and universal setup for Herbarium sheets. • Attempt to separate lightbox from table, for increased mobility. • Create a setup which is more adaptable to use in other collections. • Improve ergonomics if possible, particularly in regards to PC. • Lower camera to make more accessible. Better able to control lighting in box Less light glare for digitisers Possibly able to mount screen above box
Please can we also ensure that the interior walls and roof of the lightbox are a matt white
we will do that.
Progress: • Move table from Bhupjit‘s office to your office • Set up the copystand in your office • Look into lightbox set ups at other institutions (Kew, RBGE) • Create lightbox from available materials for testing (Nanlite Halo 16 available for experimentation) • Determine if you require any additional equipment or materials, if so send Chelsea links to purchase • See if you can source any herbarium sheets of no scientific value (not in collection) or make a mock up of the size to test a range of depths especially. • Transport Fuji GFX100S body from Herbarium C to ZM • Set up a rental agreement with Goecker (Carsten Iversen, carsten@goecker.dk) for the following: o Fujinon GF 80mm f/1.7 R WR o Fujinon GF 63mm f/2.8 R WR o Using Fuji GFX 100S based on Sara's findings.
Rental equipment is arriving Tuesday 28/11 and testing will happen in the same week.
We presented preliminary findings of our tests at the DaSSCo Digitizer meeting on 14.12.2023, with a preliminary report. The main issue to still be solved is the lighting, for which further testing and help from experts is needed. After that, the setup might have to be redesigned.
Preliminary Report:
