The Western Committee on Plant Disease Digital Image Collection

 

The Western Committee on Plant Disease slide set collection will be replaced with digitized images on CD-ROM in 2007.  Each of the slides from the original slide collection will be scanned at 600dpi, allowing each image to be printed at photo quality to a size of up to 8 x10 inches on photographic paper with  no distortion. The images have also been enhanced through the scanning process to eliminate the discolouration associated with the age of some of the slides, and the removal of scratches and dust particles.

 

An actual picture of the opening screen (Ornamentals) is shown below:

Images can be selected by clicking on the thumbnails on the left of the window which calls up a larger image (in this case Bacterial spot of Tomato from the Vegetables collection)

Each Digital Image collection lists the Pathogen and the English and French disease  and host names.
