Hi Rex, Never knew there were no standards in scale in scientific photography. The scale cubes with hash marks are good, so long as people use them correctly in their photos. Thanks for explaining it. Cubes are MUCH better to use than coins. By the way, I wasn't downing your cubes, I simply didn't see a point in different size cubes until you guys explained it. It makes more sense now.

Just wondering... maybe I don't
understand.

But, what's the point of a 1 Inch or 2 Centimeter "scale"
cube when the
standard is 1 Centimeter? Wouldn't this confuse things?

Eric
When I first started selling these cubes I had requests for photographers to 
make cubes with hash marks showing both metric and English measurements. They 
have been using quarters in their pictures and wanted something much nicer to 
use. These have no N W S E B and T marks.

I have also had geologists request a 2cm and 5cm version. these will still have 
N W S E T and B. They will also have hash marks showing small metric scales in 
addition. Thee cubes would be used for general geology purposes for field shots.
