Hello morphometricians,
I am working with snow vole skulls and have been provided a Next Engine
surface scanner to obtain my shape data. I have done various tests with
the scanner, but I still don't achieve the resolution I was expecting in
the quality of the scans after alignment. I was hoping that somebody who
has used or is using this scanner could give me some tips on how they
program the scanner to obtain their images, such as number of divisions,
starting angle, starting tilt, etc. As well, any tip on what to use to
position and maintain the skull still during scanning (especially as I
use the optional robotic arm for the Next Engine scanner). I would also
appreciate any other useful information you might know on how to obtain
fine morphological data from micromammal skulls using other techniques,
software, etc. Thank you a lot in advance!
All the best,
