    This is quite a good page on scanner technologies http://www.imageaccess.de/?page=Whit...elRace&lang=en

    DR it turned out fine in the end and I was able to get sufficient detail in the scanned image with my scanner - where Draw-wing wasn't able to place the points in the right spots I managed to do it manually with a bit of guidance in the main scanned wings thread. Only had the one sample to do in the winter but with the new season just around the corner I'll be taking a few samples from my own and other people's bees to get a bit more practice in.

    That's great news
    These things are not blooming cheap
    I used to work for Canon at one time and loyally bought an Epson Lol!!
    (it works with Linux)
    If you ever buy another one a CCD is more forgiving
    Sleet here today again

    It's a great printer as well so I was reluctant to buy another if the Canon could be made to function which thankfully it was.

    Had about 2-3 inches of snow overnight but it has shifted quickly and there's not a lot left on the ground now!

    Surely there is no need for points numbered 1 -19 ?
    6 would be boring enough to organise and check
    sorry 0 -18

    DrawWing was designed for geographic morphometry (where the shape of the whole wing is measured). It just happens to identify the points that we need for standard morphometry.
    We need 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 18 (and 5 if you want the Hantel index).

    Hi Peter
    Thanks a lot, that will save my eyesight
    I'll only correct those 7 points in future

    Not really. You need young bees from the centre of the brood nest so that you can be sure they came from that queen.

    Dead ones could be drifters - or robbers from another hive.
