The Osteometric Board from Micro Technologies is designed for accurate and systematic measurement of human and compatible skeletal specimens. It provides a stable measuring surface for determining the dimensions of long bones during anthropology, osteology, anatomy and skeletal research applications.

The MT-4008 incorporates a graduated measurement scale along the working platform, allowing the length of a positioned bone specimen to be determined directly against a calibrated reference.

During measurement, the skeletal specimen is positioned along the board between the reference surfaces. This arrangement provides a convenient method for measuring the maximum or selected length of compatible bones according to the required osteometric procedure.

The board is particularly useful for studying long bones such as the femur, tibia, humerus, radius, ulna and other compatible skeletal specimens. Its flat measuring platform helps maintain consistent specimen positioning during examination.

An adjustable reference arrangement allows the measuring system to accommodate bones of different lengths. This provides flexibility when working with multiple skeletal specimens during comparative studies.

The Osteometric Board is widely applicable to studies involving skeletal morphology, bone dimensions, comparative osteology and physical anthropology. Consistent measurement of skeletal dimensions can provide important quantitative information for academic and research investigations.

The graduated scale enables direct dimensional observations while the rigid platform provides stable specimen support. This simplifies repeated measurements when multiple bones need to be examined under similar conditions.

The equipment can also support forensic anthropology and skeletal research applications where systematic documentation of bone dimensions is required. Interpretation of such measurements should be performed using appropriate scientific methods and reference standards.

Its straightforward mechanical construction makes the board convenient for repeated laboratory use without requiring complex operating procedures or electronic systems.

Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Osteometric Board is suitable for anthropology departments, osteology laboratories, anatomy laboratories, forensic anthropology facilities, universities, museums and research institutions.

FAQs

What is an Osteometric Board used for?

An Osteometric Board is used for measuring the length and selected dimensions of long bones and other compatible skeletal specimens.

Which bones can be measured using an Osteometric Board?

It can be used with compatible long bones such as the femur, tibia, humerus, radius and ulna, depending on specimen dimensions and the measurement procedure.

Does the board have a graduated measuring scale?

Yes. The board incorporates a graduated scale that provides a reference for obtaining bone-length measurements.

Can different bone lengths be accommodated?

Yes. The measuring arrangement is designed to accommodate compatible skeletal specimens of different lengths.

Is the Osteometric Board suitable for anthropology laboratories?

Yes. It is particularly suitable for physical anthropology, biological anthropology and skeletal measurement studies.

Can it be used in osteology research?

Yes. The board is useful for osteometric measurements, comparative osteology and skeletal morphology studies.

Can the Osteometric Board be used in forensic anthropology?

Yes. It can support the collection of skeletal dimensional data used in forensic anthropology research and examination when appropriate scientific protocols are followed.

Does the Osteometric Board require electricity?

No. It is a manual mechanical measuring instrument and does not normally require an electrical power supply.
