Resembling stained glass, woven textiles, and abstract paintings, these slides reveal the cellular structure of trees and shrubs. Scientists slice thin sections from the wood blocks, and stain them to look at specific microscopic features. @NMNH

This project is a victory for scientific research. It's also an innovative model that we have shared with technologists, museum directors, digitization specialists, and scientists from around the globe. My congrats to @SmithsonianDPO @SIxDIGI @NMNH and teams across Smithsonian.

If you were a Smithsonian herbarium specimen collected in 1838, this would be the ride of a lifetime. In our largest digitization project, we used a conveyor belt system to digitize more than 3.8 million herbarium sheets, now available to all through #SmithsonianOpenAccess.

If you care about the future of our planet's flora, then it's critical to know about its past. Each specimen within the U.S. National Herbarium, which is housed at the Smithsonian, documents a species from a specific time and place.
