Micro-CT for Zoology Research

Insect study

BRUKER SKYSCAN X-ray tomography instruments apply to all forms of life. The power of 3D nondestructive imaging has revolutionized the way zoologists conduct integrative and comparative biology research. 

  • High sensitivity to different tissue types
  • Superior resolution for resolving subtle differences in morphometry 
  • Comprehensive visualization tools to produce stunning images that are sure to attract attention

Comparative biology

Comparative biology

The SkyScan visualization programs DATAVIEWER and CTVOX create beautifully rendered images and movies of specimens, allow for complete data manipulation, and side-by-side comparison in 3D space.

Model biomechanics & functional biology

High quality micro-CT images are the first step in modeling biomechanics and functional biology.

Entomology

Our comprehensive method notes provide a blueprint to extract the most details out of samples which inherently do not provide natural X-ray contrast. It is possible through the use of prescribed protocols to obtain detailed images at ultra-high resolution. Through the use of the SkyScan 3D Suite visualization tools, breath-taking rendering can be created from your samples.

Micro-CT for vertebrates

X-ray computed tomography for vertebrates does not mean being restricted to skeletal anatomy. Through the use of contrast enhancing agents and chemical drying techniques, a full range of tissue information can be extracted from the micro-CT images.
