habitats, and so, for example, see all the northern forest species of
Caliergon, or all the sedges that occur on sandy seacoasts. Thumb-
nails of available images can be used to compare specific images.
They will add images of mammals, birds, herbs, and grasses in the
next few years. We look forward to seeing these additions and are
thankful for the insane amount of work put into this project by Jerry
and Ed McNeil. Ed, who designed and built the aircraft for videogra-

changing the focus, then putting all those images together with software to have a single image. The result is that every plane or part of the
image is in focus for a 3D effect, even though you are looking at it in 2D.
