Detailed data on research infrastructure/laboratory
- Description and data on the research infrastructure/laboratory:
The equipment of the technical room is used for the preparation of dendrochronological samples after they are taken from standing or lying trees and their parts. The equipment allows for the collection, drying, gluing and grinding (staining) of samples as a basic preparation of core samples and stem discs before analysis.
Specialized equipment is used for the automated acquisition of digital images from prepared samples with extra high resolution. Specialized software is used for the creation (combining) of images into a single image. In conjunction with software for measuring increments (Cdendro and WinDendro), cross-dating (T-SAPwin) and statistical processing (R-Studio), it allows for a complete analysis of dendrochronological material.The equipment is used for automated acquisition of extra high resolution digital images. Specialized software is used for creating (combining) images into a single image. In conjunction with software for measuring increments and for statistical processing, it enables complete analysis of dendrochronological material.

List of equipment:
Stereomicroscope with digital camera in conjunction with automatic sliding table; PC workstation.
Digital camera with extra-wide-angle lens (fisheye). Workstation + WinScanopy software (Regent Instruments -Qebec CA).
-
Justification of uniqueness/strategic importance:
Automated processing of digital images and rapid assessment of relative illumination along with modeling of illumination changes through changes made to digital images. Automated processing in combination with extremely high resolution and sensitivity allows the processing of a type of material that cannot be rationally evaluated by the means used so far. -
