Abstract |
A new robot for automated microfossil orientation and digital imaging called AMOR is presented. AMOR (from Automated Measurement system for shell mORphology) was built in collaboration between the Natural History Museum in Basel (NMB), the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW), and the Geological-Paleontological Institute (GPI) of the University of Basel. AMOR is capable of automatically positioning, orienting, focussing, zooming, and imaging isolated microfossils that are mounted in standard multicellular micropaleontological slides. This device is useful for the efficient collection of morphometric data for evolutionary studies from digital microfossil images. It is superior to manual data collection because of higher speed and improved level of precision and reproducibility. |
