I was sorting through the rubble of all sorts of useful files on the HDD, I came across an Excel file downloaded on some entomological sites - a template for printing labels. Just enter the data in the first cell, and it is automatically filled in in all the others.

I was sorting out my youth collection today... Labels are written with a simple pencil on Soviet paper from sketchbooks( everything is readable, preserved...even my childish handwriting

). In 1994, he practically stopped studying entomology, other interests, burna-molodost

Here I made new boxes (turned out-super!!! already prus himself!!!)
I arranged my "rarities", but I didn't even cry... How many did you remember?...........................................................
In short-fellow specialists! Modern technology allows almost everything.
On what and how to rewrite labels?
I decided to return to my old circles.

I prefer to print on a laser printer, as I wrote above.

And I still write all the labels in pencil. I like.

I would also write with a pencil, but the doctors ' handwriting is disgusting, you have to type.

Enlighten the dark one. What information should a modern label contain, or have the requirements for this moment not changed since Soviet times?

26.12.2006 1:50, Vadim Yakubovich

I don't think they have changed, but I have already seen that GPS coordinates are written on labels instead of country-city-village-river, it seemed to me more convenient and accurate, and the height of the NUM can be immediately determined and entered. And what do my colleagues think about this, I myself am inclined to write this way, I have already bought the device.

26.12.2006 2:17, RippeR

GPS - for science, labels for the public

And then someone took a look and he doesn't need to change

anything

IMHO, the exact coordinates of the point of capture should be written along with the usual data "country-city-village-river", and if linking to a rural locality is difficult due to its great remoteness (mountains, taiga, etc.) - then without fail. If, of course, there is such a possibility (the device, for example, is available, or you can "catch" at least 3 GPS satellites).

26.12.2006 8:40, Vadim Yakubovich

And then someone took a look and he doesn't need to change anything anymore

I don't understand what it means to change the label?

If you write both coordinates and links to us. points, the label will be very large, and it is easier to find a point on the map using coordinates, build maps of areas, and it is difficult to find out how many villages in the vast expanses of Russia have disappeared, renamed, etc. Looking through old collections, I dig through the lists of renamed us. points, rivers, etc. Yes, the coordinates are international, they are the same all over the world.

Some are different, but they don't take into account continental drift.

27.12.2006 12:44, RippeR

I meant that some places don't want to be open to everyone, only an approximate location, and they write the exact coordinates in the log so that they can then determine exactly.

You can try writing labels with a thin gel pen. You just need to first check whether it is not dissolved by water (gel rods are resistant and not resistant to moisture). I now even make total drawings of insects exclusively with a gel pen. If you need a color drawing, then I cover the top with watercolors without any problems, nothing flows. In terms of alcohol, it also seems to be stable.

04.02.2007 17:11, RippeR

Interestingly, I haven't heard about water-resistant gel yet, I need to look for it!

I was sorting through the rubble of all sorts of useful files on the HDD, I came across an Excel file downloaded on some entomological sites - a template for printing labels. Just enter the data in the first cell, and it is automatically filled in in all the others.

I tried it. Resume template is the stupidest, I would be too shy to show it. The number of labels is set by removing the extra ones from the finished sheet! And the option with different labels on the same sheet is not even considered.

It's been a long time since I wrote the Label macro for Word, which is much more convenient: http://entomology.narod.ru/archiv_soft/program.htm

There is also an old program Labels

People!!! here I came across an article that says that the powder that is used for printing with laser printers peels off the paper over time. And in 100 years, ALL labels printed in this way will be unusable. All such inscriptions can be "blown away" in a few seconds. These are the pies...

27.06.2007 23:13, Konstantin Shorenko

And labels are best done in WORDe through the table, and do not worry about all sorts of Labels. The main thing is to develop your own standard and adhere to it.

27.06.2007 23:17, Proctos

and you can link, I vaguely heard about this, but I think that everything is not clear. I'm talking about shedding

I can't give you a link, because it was a long time ago. A lot of ambiguity - just have to wait... a little bit, about 100 years old...

A philosophical question. If you expect your personal collection to be in demand in 100-200 years, it is best to sign labels with a simple pencil. 100% guaranteed. But after all, they still hit on fashionable things - labels on the printer, material on dies, stainless steel pins, etc. People's ambitions know no bounds!

29.06.2007 18:03, omar

Yeah... Even I thought about ordering gold-plated pins for a while, and then decided that no, I'm not a major.

Well, th for the***! I have already re-patched about 2000 labels! Ter will have to rewrite everything back

And because it is very convenient and simple, I hope that the next generation of entomologists will come up with a way to preserve our labels

and invent their own, although the grandfather's methods are the most reliable, yes.

I only sign with a pencil.
This year I started using a risograph with waterproof ink.. The labels, of course, are quite beautiful, but the beetle, especially small, or on the die immediately disappears, merges with what is written. Therefore, I quickly returned to the pencil - more beautiful, more reliable, more convenient

05.07.2007 9:05, omar

Since the question about labels has already come up, I'll ask you too! How and on what do you write labels for alcohol preparations? And then I drown all small beetles (less than 3 mm) in alcohol.

Missed, clicked on the flower

For alcohol preparations, nothing better than a simple pencil seems to have been invented.

Yes, in my opinion, even for alcohol collections, labels on tracing paper or parchment are usually written.

That's why I ask-what if they came up with it? Buddy-I gave you your flower back.

Only I prefer not tracing paper, but what is sold in pharmacies under the name "paper for compresses".

Why is compress paper better?

05.07.2007 11:11, omar

Rather rough, graphite holds well to it. And most importantly, it does not lose its properties in the liquid at all. The tracing paper feels like it's still swollen. Although, maybe I was just unlucky for a good tracing paper....

05.07.2007 11:13, Дзанат

And it can be soaked with something.
I have never collected alcohol, how good is that? and how are the hairs, coloring?

05.07.2007 11:21, omar

In alcohol, everything is very good, except for coloring. Red, orange pigments eventually cease to exist. The method is especially good for small and very small beetles, because sticking them on dies almost always means, even if they are triangles, pecking at some important feature. And to mount the beetle back and forth many times - it does not get any better from this.

It is clear, all the same," tincture " of some kind turns

out and with the insides there, how, in this regard, is it probably good?

Here are the larvae I throw in alcohol, they then become hard.

Well, if you look at the barrels, then everything is clearly visible...

05.07.2007 11:32, omar

In fact, the alcohol should be 70%, it is not very stale. Beetles can be dissected, DNA can be extracted.

05.07.2007 11:36, omar

Not always everything is clearly visible even on the side. Imagine a perokrylka. Do you think you can correctly calculate the drop of glue and its location on the body of a beetle 0.5 mm in size?

05.07.2007 11:41, Дзанат

The fact of the matter is that I sometimes do not think

But less than 0.5 in alcohol kin.

yes, it is more than 70% medical alcohol.
Thank you.

а на пробирки этикетки клеить скотчем напрмер? Не пробовали? Помогает

Все равно приоритет остался у карандашов
