[Nhcoll-l] New iteration of Virtual Microscopy at the Yale Peabody Museum

[Utrup, Jessica]

The Division of Invertebrate Zoology, Peabody Museum, has moved its Virtual Microscopy website to a new server and a permanent URL, superceding the BETA version released last year:

https://virtualmicroscopy.peabody.yale.edu/

The website features more than 4300 images served as either dynamic pan and zoom, or zoom through, the latter mimicking a microscope's action.  Full search capability is available, and there thematic searches highlighting a variety of groups, structures, or topics.  Links are provided to the Peabody Museum web portal, where full metadata are available and static images can be downloaded.

This project, funded by NSF-CSBR Project Award #1349111, also include the databasing of more than 50000 microscope slides, of which more than 42000 were imaged. All data and images for the project can be accessed via the Peabody Museum's searchable website, following the "Search the Collections" feature at the following web address:

https://virtualmicroscopy.peabody.yale.edu/
