How to capture, manipulate and publish your images.
One of the most important aspects of our PEET project is our work with images of the organisms. Our fungi are very small and almost all data must be obtained from microscope work and this information must be documented in some way. The best and easiest way is to capture images from the compound and dissecting microscopes. The easiest way to use large numbers of images is to have them in electronic form, on the computer. This demonstration shows how we capture our images with video systems, manipulate them for various output, store them for future use and use them for publication.
