Every time I see those black and white micro scale images posted by the MEMS crowd I get a bit of calibration envy. The images all seem to have those really useful scale bars which provide an indication of the small size of things they are displaying.

Well, no more. I have added calibration tools to the software which controls the experiments in the FPath project and, henceforth, my images will now also contain a scale bar.

I just thought that some of you might be interested in how it is done. The video explains all:  https://youtu.be/nirIiC6hnc0  

The image below shows the scale bar in place while measuring the length of the claw at the end of a bee leg.(click on the image to enlarge, watch the video for context)
