The price is about half off what it originally cost. The new Microscribes are around $8000 USD. I just purchased a NextEngine scanner for $3000. However, if you are looking to digitize anatomical landmark data- I believe the Miscrosribe is still a better option. I have not been able to figure out how to extract landmark data from the scans yet (like you can from a CT scan)- I'm assuming it would be similar. There are issues with the use of CT extracted data, however. Ann H.
