Digitisation and visualisation of collection material (especially types)

Scientific collections represent an inexhaustible database for numerous scientific and applied questions. In order to make this database available to as many users as possible, data (finding data, taxonomic status, etc.) are digitised and individual important representatives (primarily type material) are visualised using modern imaging techniques (3D photography, confocal imaging). In addition, up-to-date type catalogues are compiled for the various insect groups.
