Camera Scanning | dpBestflow Camera scanning basics With some special hardware, along with some proper techniques, it's possible to make excellent digitizations of film and print originals using a digital camera. The camera's sensor provides excellent resolution for the scan, even in comparison to dedicated film scanners such as Imacon. A DSLR's built-in anti-moire filter also helps in minimizing the appearence of dust and minor scratches present on the media being scanned. You can compare the relative quality of a file made with an Imacon film scanner and a file made with a Canon 1Ds MkII. We have provided scanned image files for download here. Camera scanning falls into two basic categories: digitizing film and digitizing prints. Print scans Prints are a more straightforward process than film scans, since they are typically larger, and the scan needs only to reproduce the reflected color and tone.

Perseus Digital Library Welcome to Imatest Aquaculture | Library The South Australian Aquatic Sciences Centre Library houses the most comprehensive collection of specialist aquatic science literature in South Australia. It includes information on marine and freshwater flora and fauna, their biology, habitat, capture and culture. SARDI Aquatic Sciences specialises in temperate aquatic research and hence the library collection is based around information on temperate research into fisheries, ecosystems and aquaculture from SA and other temperate areas of the globe, together with local management reports. There is also a broad range of material covering fisheries and aquaculture policy, economics, management and legislation from other areas of the world. Resources - What's in the library? The library has a range of information contained in various types of publications including: Reference Books, Scientific Journals; Reports, Technical Reports, Annual Reports , Fishery Statistics and Theses.SARDI publications are also available including: Library Services

Twilit Grotto -- Esoteric Archives Phase One Partner of the Year: Digital Transitions Vanuatu Library Association homepage The Vanuatu Library Association aims to unite all persons interested in libraries and Librarianship, and to provide support and leadership for the development and improvement of library services in Vanuatu and to encourage and foster development of libraries, librarianship, archives and archivists, and other associated activities within Vanuatu and the South Pacific. VLA was established between 1991 and 1992. It has since adopted and been guided by its own constitution. VLA has been quietly working to improve the situation of libraries around the country as well as encourage young and mature people to pursue studies in the field of librarianship. There were difficult times and some discouragement at times since VLA’s inception but with continuous commitment from all members, new and old, much can be achieved as already witnessed since 1992.

Home Digital Imaging in Optical Microscopy - Concepts in Digital Imaging Concepts in Digital Imaging Technology Charge-coupled devices (CCDs), like microprocessor and memory integrated circuits, are fabricated on silicon wafers in a series of elaborate steps using photolithography to define and build various functional elements within the microcircuitry. Each wafer contains tens to hundreds of identical devices, each fully capable of producing a single CCD chip for use in digital cameras. This section of the Molecular Expressions Photomicrography Primer contains links to illustrated discussions of important CCD concepts, which are critical in forming a complete understanding of digital imaging techniques. Anatomy of a Charge-Coupled Device - Digital image sensor technology is centered around the semiconductor charge-coupled device, which is fabricated in a manner similar to that used in the production of integrated circuits ranging from microprocessors to memory chips.

WEBLIS: UNESCO-CI WEBLIS is a free-of-charge Web based Library Integrated System based on CDS/ISIS. The system has been developed by the Institute for Computer and Information Engineering (ICIE), Poland, based on their experience in building library systems for international organizations such as FAO, IFAD and GTZ. WEBLIS runs through the WWW-ISIS engine, also developed by ICIE. UPDATED 21 September 2007: New release and documentation of WEBLISDownload WEBLIS August, 2007 releaseDownload WEBLIS August, 2007 Documentation The current version of WEBLIS, available in English, consists of the following modules: • Cataloguing system • OPAC (search) • LOAN module • Statistical module OPAC (on-line public access catalogue) The OPAC module provides: • basic and advanced search, • History, • Saving queries function, and • ISIS Query language facilities • thesaurus based search Additionally, it is possible to implement other WWW-ISIS functions, e.g. download functions (ISO2709, text, rtf).

Internet Sacred Text Archive Home Spectral Selectivity Spectral Selectivity Spectral selectivity is a technique for creating images which uses intentionally limited ranges of radiation in the ultraviolet, visible or infrared portions of the spectrum. It has uses in artistic and scientific photography. Early day photographers often needed to work around the inherent spectral sensitivity limitations of the photographic materials available to them. Their photographic materials were sensitive primarily to blue light. Modern photographic materials are available with sensitive to a wide portion of the spectrum, ranging from 250 nanometers (ultraviolet) to 925 nanometers (infrared). The topics linked below provide an introduction to spectral selectivity, some technical information for making use of it and a few typical applications.
