Thank you to everyone who helped us transcribe the marine mammal lice microscope slides. As we process the images and data from the louse collection, it will become available on the Museum's Data Portal for anyone in the world to study. We are currently preparing our next Miniature Lives Magnified project for the new year.
FAQ
About the project
The Museum is on a mission to digitise the 80 million specimens in its collection. We want to make the information the specimens hold about the natural world more openly available to scientists and the public.
We have imaged more than 70,000 microscope slides of lice from the Museum's collection, and now we need your help to transcribe information from the specimen labels so that the data can be used for scientific research.
We will be adding to this FAQ over the coming days, to assist you with the tasks in this Expedition.
