We have used handheld digital cameras for our research in sheep in Galveston. For autopsies at the Shriners hospital, we use handheld cameras, one operated by a professional photographer, and also an old copy stand with hot lights and a backlight and a Sony digital camera with a macro lens on an alpha lens mount adapter, which works pretty well. The new macro photography in the UTMB autopsy service is great -- you enter the case number and put the specimen on the stand, and the system handles focus, exposure and record keeping and provides excellent pictures.

We are using a couple of big tungsten light bulbs and a Nikon d60 camera. We are a research lab working with sheep, so we get big lesions in big organs. I was wondering if anybody is using a Digital Gross Photography System and how they compare with a "more ytraditional" digital camera approach. As always, thank you so much for your opinions. Greatly appreciated!
