## Overview

The Crime Scene 10cm Photomacrographic Scales (Pack of 5) are expertly designed for forensic and close-up photography, featuring a matte non-reflective rigid plastic build, integrated distortion correction circles, and an 18% halftone calibration area. Trusted by professionals for precise bitemark and object measurement, these scales deliver unmatched accuracy and durability in every shot.

## Description

These small scales are ideal for close-up photography.Printed on matte white, non-reflective rigid plastic. Our No. 2 scale is an ABFO-type scale used for bitemark measurement and photography. The incorporation of three circles is useful in helping to compensate for distortion resulting from oblique camera angles. Graduations are all metric except for the width of the legs, which are 25cm wide. The 1cm division lines are traced and extended across the photographic print to grid an image. Measurements within the image are then made relative to these inscribed 1cm grid lines to compensate for any distortion resulting from nonparallelism between the film and the object planes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these neutral enough to use for white balance?**
A: In theory you could use the back, but I find it too small to easily use for white balance.
I would instead use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Foto-Tech-Double-Sided-Collapsible-Photography/dp/B07J177X3W/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality

Great scale for photographing mineral and fossils

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good scale
*by V***R on January 21, 2026*

I use this a lot for scaling when I'm photographing, great tool.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect scale for its size
*by C***P on September 16, 2023*

I purchased two of these - one in SAE one in metric - and the metric one has definitely been the better choice. I used these for personal use and both are high quality and very useful for taking photos of things where I need to communicate the dimensions -- for example, sending a photo to the vet of sore on our dog's leg. For things smaller than 1" (and for things medical, where metric is preferred), the metric scale is easier to see the x- and y-dimensions. Mine have held up well for quite some time, though I could imagine that the lettering might scrape off given enough abuse. I really like these.
