Identification of Plant Damaging Insects

Syncroscopy announced its Auto-Montage Pro software is being used at the Museum Victoria, Australia's largest museum, to help construct a commercially important new entomology web site. Researchers at Museum Victoria are using the software to generate 3-D images of a range of pest insects that pose a potential plant health threat to Australia. These images are being used to construct the Pest and Diseases Image Library (PaDIL). Quarantine officers are using the PaDIL web site to rapidly check insects found in imported vegetable and fruit produce this is enabling them to speed up the quarantine process.
