Dear colleagues, After a few years of working in the field of morphometrics, I have finally found a small but concrete opportunity to get the seed funds to start the first biological morphometrics lab in my home country Ecuador. This is just and idea at the moment, but I will be grateful if you can provide me with suggestions regarding the equipment and related costs.
I have little experience on the costs and type of equipment available in the market. Eventually, I will be interested in acquiring a very basic, but reliable, set of 3D scanners and digitizers - Nothing in the range of an MRI scanner, but something much cheaper and smaller, perhaps in the style of a Konica Minolta VI-910. Our interests are in the study of very small parts like rodent and bat skulls, amphibian and fish bones, etc. As I said, this is just an idea; that eventually could become a reality provided that a multitude of factors coalesce in a convenient opportunity. Your suggestions will be of importance for a realistic point of view on the subject. Thanks for all your comments.
