BioQuip’s durable point punches are invaluable tools for mounting very small insects. Standard size points, with either round or square base, are 1/4" (6mm) long. Larger size points, 1/2" (13mm) with either round or square base, are also available.
Two additional sizes were added in response to multiple customer requests. They are:
1161C - points are 9.2mm long, 2.7mm base, .7mm tip; made in the U.S.A.
1161D - points are 11mm long, 3mm base, 1mm tip; made in the U.S.A.
Points are punched from card stock or clear acetate, and specimens are then glued to the points.
1161A and 1161B (NSN: 7520-01-468-3424) point punches are made in the U.S.A.
