Dear Chris, I have done some work on collecting 3D surfaces using confocal microscopy which is in a bit more detail than Jernvall's paper: Evans AR, Harper IS, and Sanson GD. 2001. Confocal imaging, visualization and 3-D surface measurement of small mammalian teeth. Journal of Microscopy 204: 108-118. I can send a pdf of it if you are interested, and can give you some advice on software, etc.
