Check the iDigBio website at http://www.idigbio.org --there is at least
one funded ADBC project (InvertNet) involving insects (in drawers, in
vials, on slides...). Their protocols and workflows should be posted
there, although they might not be there yet. Or check the InvertNet
website directly (https://invertnet.org/).
The NC State Insect Museum has done a lot of GigaPan imaging for their
collection -- http://insectmuseum.org/ and
http://www.gigapan.com/users/ncsuinsectmuseum/gigapans . Perhaps
someone belonging to one of those projects would be willing to share
their workflows and what technologies they've tried.
iDigBio is holding an entomology digitization workshop in Chicago in
April--I'm sure they'll be sharing the presentations and other content
on the website afterward. Some entomology collections were also covered
by the wet collections digitization workshop a few weeks ago, and those
presentations should eventually also be available through the iDigBio
workshops page
(https://www.idigbio.org/wiki/index.php/IDigBio_Workshops, although it
looks like the links aren't there yet).
We are at the very beginning of such a project ourselves, so
unfortunately I don't have a working protocol to share with you! But if
you want to compare notes on the options and what you're planning, feel
free to contact me off-list.

Hello All,
Does anyone happen to have an imaging guide or detailed protocols for
imaging entomological specimens? If anyone could share their information
with us, I would greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
Jenny Leasor
