Personally.I prefer the black/white centimeter scaled strips used as opposed to
the cubes. Seeing one of the scales in front of a whole specimen or slice, gives me a
better perspective of the true size of the specimen.
I've toyed around with making one of these scales using MS

perhaps something like this;
1 cm = 10 mm = 0.393700786 inch

so, 2.54 x 0.393700786 = 0.997

Guys,
Just try google: mm to inch or cm to inch or whatever you want (even nm
to inch is working).

Greetings all brand new collector here
Advice from another dumb engineer but why not just get a small ruler with metric on one side and US standard on other and use it? Or as a second idea get a small flat piece of wood that is rectangular, measure out cm notches on it and paint it alternately
