Zusammenfassung:An automated image acquisition device includes a housing including an image acquisition chamber. A tray is deployed in the image acquisition chamber and is configured to receive a drill cuttings sample. At least one light is also deployed in the image acquisition chamber and is disposed to illuminate the tray. A digital camera is deployed in the image acquisition chamber and is configured to acquire a digital image (e.g., a digital color image) of the cuttings sample. The device further includes an electronic controller configured to instruct the digital camera to record a digital image of the drill cuttings and save the image to digital memory or transfer the image to an external computing device.
