FIGURE 2. A virtual model of Lepidotes pankowskii sp.nov. BMNH P.66856 [Holotype]. This model was made using a Konica-Minolta Vivid 910™ laser scanner equipped with a custom-built rotating turntable. In order to preserve as much morphological detail as possible, no attempt has been made to fill small holes in the scan or optimise the model meshes. 1. Virtual model with texture-mapped digital image of the actual specimen. This representation provides the best portrayal of the specimen including smudges, stains and other irregularities too fine to be represented as part of the scanned surface texture.
2. False-color mesh filled model showing maximum surface detail. Both files are written in the *.icf format, which can be read by the PC version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

DXF, STL and
WRL formats which
can also be used to view the scan using third-party software.
