Orchid SEM Photograph Collection Curation

This project involved sorting and filing several thousand SEM photographs of orchid tissues. They were sorted according to genus, tissue type, magnification, species, and collection. After sorting, the photos were mounted in packets onto herbarium sheets and the sheets were labeled. These sheets were then filed into the collection.
