| Description |
Purchase of a Micro-CT tomograph. A micro-CT tomograph will be purchased, with resolution of a micro-metre scale, which practically means that even the fine structure of the morphological characters may be perfectly observed in any individual from phyto- and zooplankton to macro- and even mega-fauna. The tomograph produces 3-D graphical representations of the scanned object, which is a particularly important feature in accurate species identification. More importantly, they do not make use of covering material (e.g. platinum), a feature, which makes them highly desirable for the scanning of type-material stored in museums.
Expected cost: 240,000 €.
