Fairly neat explorable 3D model of an ant’s mouth parts, built from a #microCT scan!

Researchers are using advanced #microCT to track the evolution of fungal cultures in #bioprocesses, revolutionizing our ability to optimize production and predict the growth of #fungi: https://go.tum.de/001896 🔬

Work in progress! Version one of my next piece (I already know I’ll need to tweak it). Looks so cool all lit up undergoing UV curing! I just love how transmitted light works!

Our pleasure. It's a beautiful image.

@IJPSJournal @VasileMarianna Thanks for choosing to put our image on the cover!

The 3D volume rendering on the cover as the rest of the #microCT data visualisation in the article was done with @OrsDragonfly3D .

Can you spot the problem with this LiPo #battery?

Here's a digital section of a battery obtained non-destructively with #microCT. Very easy to see the broken polymer layer in the middle.

Assembling the piece! I’m so excited! With all I’ve learned to make this piece a reality, I have so many ideas about where to go from here. Looking forward to making more art from #microCT data and exploring the beauty of #anatomy!

Hi Mastodon!
I’m Brian Beatty (aka Vanderhoofius), a #paleontologist and #professor . I teach #anatomy and study #marinemammals . I’m rather fond of #surfacemetrology #histology and #microct . I particularly study #cetaceans #whales #sirenia #manatees #artiodactyla and #desmostylia (my favorite)!

In this #OpenAccess pub, Kaylea describes a significant anastomotic network in the anterior spinal artery territory of the medulla –– we didn't know they were there, but Kaylea *found them* in super high-res #MicroCT scans of #DiceCT brains, and started wondering if maybe all that collateral (back-up) oxygen supply could explain why strokes of this artery are *super rare*

For all electron microscopists out there:

"Crosshair, semi-automated targeting for electron microscopy with a motorised ultramicrotome"

Kimberly Meechan et al. 2022 @eLife from Yannick Schwab's lab at EMBL in collaboration with The Crick institute. https://elifesciences.org/articles/80899

Presents a new method for reliably and "selectively targeting small regions of interest in a resin block by trimming with an ultramicrotome", powered by "user-friendly software to convert X-ray images of resin-embedded samples into angles and cutting depths for the ultramicrotome."

Reviewed by three outstanding electron microscopists: Christel Genaud, Song Pang, and Michaela Wilsch-Bräuninger.

With a background in art and #microCT, it was only a matter of time before I combined the two. CT scans and the hidden anatomy within are beautiful, and ideas about what to do with those forms have been been bumping around in my head for a long time. After the pandemic started, I started working on what I call the ExtraCT Skullpture project, where I’m exploring different ways to use CT data to create digital and physical art. Not sure where this is going, but I'm having fun!

PostDoc in my group in #Copenhagen – are you up to link #SoilStructure in the #Rhizosphere with the fate of #SoilOrganicMatter?

I also segment #microCT data for #3Dprinting and animation for the Luo Lab, where we study the transition from not-quite-a-mammal to true mammal. This means looking at a lot of teeth, ears and hyoids. Did you know the anatomical feature that defines a true mammal is three middle ear bones (incus, malleus, and stapes) that aren’t attached to the jaw!

Our #microCT lab has contributed hundreds of scans to Morphosource via the oVert project. Researchers, educators, artists, etc. can download CT data from Morphosource free of charge! Its a great resource for anyone interested in #anatomy! https://www.morphosource.org/
