Hello Kevin,
There are also 1-inch ones that NASA uses. The typical ones used in the
collector community are 1cm square.
The N,S,E,W,T,B are directional references for photographing specimens.
T=Top, B=Bottom, N=North, E=East...so on. What I typically do before I cut

If I'm not mistaken, the scale cube was invented specifically for the lunar
samples brought back by the Apollo missions.
Obviously, the idea behind using a scale cube is just that, to show the scale
of the object in the photograph.
I agree that for good scientific reasons, a

I may be mistaken, but has there be a standard set?
AFAIK, these are scale cubes, not standard cubes.
Now the example you cite is ambiguous. I have no way of knowing if it is a
1-cm cube or some other dimension because
there is a standard used with orientation cubes
we know that the cube is a 1CM :)

I vehemently disagree with you. If the scale is not specifically stated in the

absolutely no way to know that the scale cube is 1 cm. You can

Sorry all. Just one more.
Shawn, just because the Smithsonian does it doesn't make it correct.
A scale cube, or scale whatever, is just that. To show the scale of the object.
If you don't see the scale's measurement, you have no way on knowing what the
scale is. Again. You can assume what it

Richard and all,
I believe that one of the original uses was archaeology.
When an archaeologist would find an artifact he wanted to take pictures
from all sides before digging out. So let's say it was a pot in a grave, he
would shot the north/south/east/west sides of the pot, turning the cube

Hi, List,
It seems that people are always looking for scale cubes.
When they become available, they sell out, then somebody
always complains they didn't get any.
So, I noticed that there are scale cubes on eBay again,
and I pass the good news along in case you're one of those
somebodies:
Hello list,
I was just hoping that somebody had one extra cube that they would sell me, i
saw 20 up for sale on e-bay the other day but i was outbid at the last second.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

I assume you want the ones with the letters N, S, E, W, T, B
on them. However, our own NahklaDog has some w/o compass
