Lighting is key to good results, different lights, different angles. Depth of field can be a problem when marks are on a curved surface. Focus-stacking software helps to resolve the problem and may be built in on modern cameras. The Dino-Lite digital microscopes are very good but need practice to get the best out of them. Don't just rely on the in-built LED lighting. Try to use e.g. fibre-optic lights to get precise side-lighting. If you're buying a Dino-light, go for the highest pixel resolution, and do get the polariser. It's a really useful facility when surfaces are even a little shiny. And have fun!

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 Marie-Cécile Soulier -----------PhD, Zooarchaeology https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marie-Cecile_Soulier Agent contractuel CNRSTRACES - UMR 5608, équipe SMP3C N'imprimez ce mail que si vous en avez vraiment besoin To unsubscribe from the ZOOARCH list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=ZOOARCH&A=1 ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the ZOOARCH list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=ZOOARCH&A=1
