I would suggest microCT for things that small especially, if you can get access to one or have the specimens ship to an imaging facility. Resolution (and detail) will be far superior, and the amount of work you will do to convert the voxel data to surface models is going to be far less than stitching 3-4 (or more) acquisition together to get a decent coverage.

But I wouldn't consider it portable. For Myotis species (in particular the small ones) you will need to take at least 3-4 acquisitions for each specimen and don't expect perfect results on teeth. But it's pretty good!! If anyone has other suggestions on laser scans able to reconstruct bat skulls I would be very curious to know too.
