Technical University of Munich (TUM), Research Laboratory Wood

General expertise in the identification of wood species, most common CITES-species, e.g. palisander. Developed an online identification key for the most common European species using macroscopic features. It uses high definition photos, which separates it from other software solutions. It provides different identification keys for beginners as well as experienced users. The laboratory is currently developing a database solution that helps to efficiently organize, access and share data from our reference wood collection. If successful, it should also be available for other institutions in the future.
