Special type labels are important for classifying specimens." "Skins and Vertebrate Material";R;C;C;C;R;R;O;O;"Background must maximise the identification of the specimen, avoiding glossy or reflective materials that can hinder border detection.Some specimens may not require colour chart as colour is not a main feature (e.g., bone samples).The placement of the scale needs to consider the depth and angle at which images are acquired." "Liquid preserved specimens";C;C;O;O;C;C;O;C;"The containers can contain more than one specimen and require additional handling. Sometimes the specimens are removed and imaged outside the container, but this take longer time.Background must be neutral, especially for see-through containers.Barcodes can refer to one container with multiple specimens.Labels can be hard to image due to the shape and placement in container.Paper records which describe the specimens in a container will need to be digitized as well."

"Herbarium Sheets";R;NR;R;R;C;R;R;O;"Labels can be hard to image due to overlapping with other labels and with the specimen parts. Additionally, some labels can be placed at the back of the sheet, requiring additional imaging."
