Hello Michael,
We are currently useing a Dinolite to take pictures of larger benthic
Foraminifera to investigate their growth. I think the resolution of the
pictures is very good compared to opther usb microscopes. However it is very
difficult to focus and the measuring software that comes with the microscope is
absolutely not reliable. It prooved very difficult to get halfway accurate
measurements even with a scalebar. Our Foraminifera are all very flat and easy
to photograph, but I would not recomend it for more complex shapes. I think a
microscope with camera would be preferable in your case.

Hello, Has anyone used a Dino-lite DinXcope for morphometrics of small
mandibles (mice, etc)? Are they effective at capturing subtle landmarks such
as the mental foramen? If you've used them, what lighting source do you use?
Thanks in advance.
