[Nhcoll-l] Digital calipers for museum use

[Elizabeth Wommack]

Hello everyone,

Happy almost Friday everyone.

My museum is looking at getting a set of digital calipers for measuring mammal objects (but also hopefully useful or other vertebrate groups).

I have digital calipers I use myself for bird banding (Fowler brand), but I was wondering if other people had thoughts or opinions on brands and models?
I love my digital calipers (they've put up with a lot and gone with me many places), but I will say they are heavy, and I have to be very careful when I use them with small birds and objects.

We have a number of manual calipers (SPI Polymid Dial calipers), but we are hoping to get a nice pair of digital calipers for museum use as well.

cheers,
Beth
