Hardware: Field imaging boxes

This is a design and engineering project, to develop a 3D printed ‘light box’ for taking pictures of flat objects, such as leaves, in the field. The image would be taken by a mobile phone. The light box would position and illuminate the leaf in ways that create a clean, evenly but obliquely lit image… Read More Hardware: Field imaging boxes
