Dear friends,
Which is the best 3D laser scanner for small structures such as frog,
rodent and bat skulls? These are objects with complex surfaces and a
length range between 20-50 mm.
Let's say that cost is not a factor to be considered.
There are currently three options that I am considering:
1) David Laser Scanner
http://www.david-laserscanner.com/
2) NextEngine 3d Scanner
https://www.nextengine.com/
3) Immersion RSI 3D Laser for Microscribe MX digitizer (6 df)

All models report their maximum resolution at standard conditions, but
I would like to know if anyone in the forum has experience working with
these contraptions on small-sized skulls for geometric morphometric
applications, or even smaller objects such as insects or other
invertebrates.
Thanks for the advice
Pablo
