This is a typical problem of having different coordinate systems for data 
and the model. You can digitize 3-4 points off the models, and calculate 
the rigid transformation that's necessary to bring your microscribe data 
onto the model. Unfortunately you may have to do this for every specimen 
one by one, as there is no guarantee that the rigid transformation will be 
identical across your samples.
