Industrial Scanner
ObjectScan 1600
This integrated workstation is characterized by, (1) On-top scan design for full-frame focus, (2) 1600 dpi (equal to 1 Gigabyte pixels) color CCD, (3) Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for specimen label and 1D barcode, and (4) image archive and privileged-account cloud management system. Both software and management system provide intuitive interface for non-IT herbarium curators and botanists, especially for herbarium inexperienced volunteers. The database structure follows JSTOR principle in order for the file exchange convenience between herbaria.
Further, MiBotany can unit global academic efforts to speed up verification rate on image quality and metadata by offering remote log-in entry service. Under ideal set-up, this workstation can digitize 500,000 – 800,00

ObjectScan 1600
On-top scan design protects fragile plant specimen
ObjectScan 1600 is characterized as an on-top scan model. This unique mechanistic design guarantees the specimen morphological integration during image capture, eliminating irreversible risks from conventional up-side-down scan or vertically moving scanning station.
1,600-dpi color CCD provides high-resolution image
ObjectScan 1600 has a color linear CCD with resolution up to 1,600 pixels per inch, equaling that of 1Gigabyte. With the built-in 48-bit ADC (Analog to Digital Converter), the whole specimen as well as details of surface textures can be precisely captured and presented in high fidelity format.
Up to +/- 6.5 mm DOF can get clear extended DOF images
The DOF (Depth of Field) of ObjectScan 1600 is up to +/- 6.5 mm at 300 dpi, which can overcome uneven or protruded parts of plant specimen. This is of especially help on specimen with corns and fruits, preserving and presenting the original characters for academic purpose.
Automated metadata recognition ability
Specimen label information will be recognized and automatically saved titled by herbarium code and specimen serial number in XML format through ScanWizard-Botany. Various options, such as contrast, lightness, and sharpness, are also provided for curators on image adjustment.
Image archive and privileged account management system
MiBotany is both a web-server system and specimen image authentication database, aiming for being an efficient and integrated multi-functional platform. After hierarchical login-based image quality and metadata profile validation from invited professionals, MiBotany can quickly update the system and immediately make verified specimen access by the public.

Features List
Safe On-Top, Non-Contact Scan Design：Features a unique top-down scanning architecture with a concealable, drawer-style bed. Objects are scanned without being flipped over or pressed against glass, completely protecting fragile artifacts and preventing scanner surface scratches.
Dual-Platform Height Adjustment：Equipped with an adjustable dual-bed structure that accommodates 3D objects up to 70 mm in height. Users can select the optimal bed level to ensure flawless focus and sharp panorama capture.
Extended ±6.5 mm Depth of Field (DOF)：Delivers an impressive depth of field of up to ±6.5 mm at 300 dpi (and ±13 mm at 150 dpi). This enables the scanner to capture sharp, distortion-free images of highly uneven, protruding, or multi-layered surfaces.
1600 dpi High-Res Linear CCD：Built with a professional color linear CCD and a 48-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), delivering ultra-clear, true-to-life texture details equivalent to a 1-Gigabyte high-fidelity image.
Tri-Wavelength LED & Auto-Calibration：Utilizes an advanced tri-wavelength LED light source to provide a wider, richer NTSC-level color gamut. Paired with intelligent auto-calibration, it blocks ambient light interference and eliminates warm-up delays.
Automated Metadata & Management：Bundled with specialized ScanWizard Botany/LS software, which automatically recognizes barcode labels, extracts specimen metadata into XML files, and integrates with secure multi-tier database systems.
Applications / Use Cases
Botanical Herbaria & Plant Digitization：Perfect for natural history museums and botanical gardens to safely digitize delicate plant specimens, including complex structures like pinecones, seeds, and dried fruits.
Zoological & Mineralogical Collections：Ideal for research centers to archive structural variations in insect collections, fossils, rare minerals, and fragile geological samples.
Cultural Relics & Historical Archiving：Designed for museums to capture aged, non-flat artifacts, including ancient bamboo slips, sheepskin scrolls, historical reliefs, and delicate paintings.
Industrial Materials & Manufacturing Quality Control：Widely used in building material manufacturing and textile design to capture precise, real-life 3D textures of wood panels, stone slabs, wallpapers, and ceramic tiles.
