3D Digitizers
Paleo-Tech Concepts no longer carries the MicroScribe line of digitizers. I have provided the information and video below for information purposes only. If you wish to order a MicroScribe, please visit GoMeasure3d
MicroScribe® 3D digitizers and portable CMMs are the fast, flexible way to capture 3D measurements. Light enough to carry with you to the museum or field they capture 3D data directly to your computer via USB. The RSI Laser Scanner allows you to "paint" the specimen with a laser to capture its surface shape along with all dimensions in a three dimensional "point cloud".
-
The MicroScribe G2 is currently in use by physical anthropologists around the world.
-
MicroScribe MX portable CMMs offer the highest degree of flexibility and affordability, with mid-range measurement accuracies. The MicroScribe MX is lighter in weight and greater in accuracy than the G2.
-
3D Laser Scanner from RSI for six degrees-of-freedom G2 and MX MicroScribe digitizers and portable CMMs sets a new price/performance point, supplying a fast, non-contact scanning solution for 3D applications.
MicroScribe/Morphologika Instructional Video
This video taken at the AMNH features Will Harcourt-Smith explaining the use of MicroScribe 3D digitizers from setup to data analysis using Morphologika. It is 35 minutes long, but well worth it for anyone who is interested in the use of 3D digitizers in morphometrics or as an instructional video to get you started with your new MicroScribe Digitizer. I want to personally thank Will for agreeing to do this. This presentation is completely unscripted and shot in very few takes which lends credit to Will's mastery of the subject.
