Video gallery of MicroCT scans

Submitted by Sarah Faulwetter on Mon, 2011-10-31 19:09

A video gallery of organisms scanned with the SkyScan 1172 MicroCT is available at the MARBIGEN site.

The videos are also available in a 3D version, for which red-blue 3D glasses are needed.

MicroCT Seminar by SkyScan

Submitted by Sarah Faulwetter on Mon, 2011-10-17 16:57

From 11.-14. October 2011, Jeroen Hostens of SkyScan gave a 3-day training seminar on the usage of the SkyScan 1172 MicroCT scanner installed in the facilities of IMBG. The training covered the handling and staining of specimens, scanning parameters, reconstruction of 3D images, creation of 3D models and the analyis software.
