| Herborization is a useful and educative
occupation for teenagers, who want to explore nature of their own
region or during traveling around the world. But in order to botanize a usual herbarium one should pick up a plant, then keep it in heavy card-boards between cardboard sheets, where with time leaves, flowers and herbs lose their natural colour. Besides the fact that it is harmful for nature, it is very much subjected to the influence of time. Moreover, it is not thought out how to preserve plants. Herba Scanner is invented to avoid these negative effects. Firstly, one does not have to pick up plants for botanizing. What one has to do is only to place a pattern between the two parts of the scanner and press a button. Thus the process of scanning begins. When the process is finished, the scanner should be opened (like a book), the plant should be put out of the scanner and it continues growing, just as if nothing had happened. | |

| Secondly, the patterns
preserved in electronic format do not lose their colour and pattern
with time, so that we can make electronic herbariums, sign names
(the name of the place, where the pattern had been found), time
and all the necessary information. The scanner will be supplied
with corresponding software. But the most important thing is that
Herba Scanner teaches to treat nature with care with the use of
the up-to-date digital technologies. | |
