[Odonata-l] FW: scanners

[Joe McMahon]

I've made some excellent scans of both Odonata and Lepidoptera with my 
scanner. I had pinned specimens and pinned then upside down using 
styrofoam blocks to keel the head of the pin off the glass. Unpinned 
Odonata could be laid flat on the glass, but the legs could not be 
shown. I have often thought that if a fine hole could be drilled in the 
glass, the pin could slide into the hole and the legs and wings might 
both be in focus. Just a thought.
