Smartdrive Ltd. has developed a prototype imaging system, SatScan, that captures digitised images of large areas while keeping smaller objects in focus at very high resolution. The system was set up in the Sackler Biodiversity Imaging laboratory of Natural History Museum on March 8, 2010 for a one-month trial. A series of projects imaging parts of the entomological, botanical and palaeoentomological collection were conducted to assess the systems utility for museum collection management and biodiversity research. The technical and practical limitations of the system were investigated as part of this process
