Procurement of synchrotron microtomography scanning of fossils

aphy scanning of fossils is used to visualise the internal three-dimensional structure of the fossils, allowing these to be studied without damage. The technique is central to the research of the Programme of Evolution and Development and underlies a large proportion of their publications. Imaging

needs to be done at a range of resolutions from approximately 40 µm (for morphology large objects) down to 0.7 µm (for detailed examination of histology), with an option to carry out multi-scale scanning on one specimen without dismounting
