Argemone species herbarium sheet. Clicking within the red areas will present a full size (and unmodified in PhotoShop) 600 dpi scan of that portion. [To view the current presentation of the specimen on the Lincecum Virtual Herbarium.]

Inner view of the opened sheet on the left, with the specimen in plastic. To the right of the fold, note (1) the imprint of the pressed specimen; (2) the text showing through from the outside; and (3) the reflection resulting from the scanner light.

Outer view of the unfolded sheet on the right. Note the imprint of the pressed specimen through the paper.

The scale on the bottom right has been added during the scanning. The paper was placed on a white sheet, which, however, is not white in the scanned image. Viewing the full sized scan by clicking on the scale gives some indication of lighting effects produced by the scanner.
