I am contemplating a project involving small insects. Data would be pixel areas or distances of head, thorax, abdomen. 2D measurements. Large numbers of specimens required.
With appendages removed, the insects would be mounted on a flat surface, such as poster board or paper, which is then scanned using a desktop scanner (photo-scanner). Dozens could be scanned at single time and the resulting images can be cropped for data gathering. Was just wanting initial reactions and/or recommendations on the approach.
