At the SAAs I saw a Dino-Lite live demo of stacked images of a cut mark and
the speed, focus, and depth was pretty amazing.

Well, yes, if you have regular SEM access and budget and material that will
take SEM prep, then it's probably the better option. But I have yet to see
a SEM that can be taken into the field or to museum collections, or that
can be had for under £1000 brand new. Of the optical options, Keyence do
kit that overcomes the issues you mention, but it's bulky and costs an
order of magnitude more. If 'flattening' of the image is a problem, have
you tried Focus-stacking Dino-lite images? Sonia O'C, whose knowledge of
macro/micro imaging is way beyond mine, produced some excellent images of
small shells recently using a Dino-light and focus-stacking, and just did a
lovely job imaging fine cut-marks using her Dino-light and some extra
lamps.
There are other options of course, but the original question was about
using a Dino-lite to image cut marks. For that purpose, we have found it to
be fit for purpose, affordable and easily portable.

I have tried the Dino lite unsuccessfully. It flattens the image too much
and distorts around the perimeter. I still prefer to use a SEM since it
allows for accurate depictions is relief.

Dear Zooarchers,
What kind of material do you use to obtain very good quality pictures of
cutmarks on bone remains (especially concerning close views). Does anyone
already tried a Dino-Lite? Or can someone recommend a good camera?
Thanks a lot and have a nice summer
