MicroCT scan of the skull of a platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus). This dataset was part of a study on the evolution of the inner ear.
Usage Notes
X-ray tube: FXE Direct Beam
Detector: Perkin Elmer Y.Panel 4343 CT
Exposure time: 2 s for 4338 projections (Helix scan)
Voltage: 90 kV
Current: 170 µA
Filter: 1 mm Copper
Reconstructed voxel size: 18.2 µm
The image stack was cropped and converted into a TIF image stack using the software Dragonfly.
This specimen was used in a study on the inner ear (see "Publications") the segmented inner ear data is available here: https://osf.io/9mtwh/
