The Rose pinning block manufactured since 2007, is used to establish the proper height of insect specimens and labels on pins. The 12, 16 and 20 mm dimension holes are used to determine label heights, and the 26 mm hole for specimens on points. The pinning block has a larger diameter hole which accepts a pin head that is used to establish the proper 10mm distance from the specimen to the head of the pin.
This precision pinning block establishes label distances on the pin to within less than the thickness of a piece of paper. The super-hard coating (second only to diamond in hardness) stands up to long term continuous use without any change in label spacing.
