N2 - When a cylindrical object, such as a core specimen is photographed there is significant distortion of surface features at the edges of the image. The resulting image is unusable for analyzing any surface features and can only be used as a specimen identification tool. A laboratory specimen photography system code named GeoTable has been developed to overcome these limitations. The system consists of a retrofitted manual rotary stage interfaced with a DSLR camera and a laptop computer. The GeoTable is able to automatically capture images of the complete specimen surface in an integer number of degrees specified by the user. A full description of the GeoTable system is described in the paper.
