What are herbarium specimens still used for today?

Description

The digitization of our herbarium specimens promotes their use for various scientific investigations. This increasingly emphasizes the ongoing balance between consumption and preservation, and documenting the sampling of material becomes ever more important. These topics surrounding the use of our preserved specimens are the focus of the guided tour through the collections of the United Herbaria of the University and ETH Zurich.
