X-ray micro computed tomography (x-ray µCT or micro-CT) is a non-destructive imaging technique, using x-ray energy to create volumetric reconstructions of a specimen. This technique makes available a large amount of material from museum spirit collections for comparative studies of relatively rare and uncommon creatures.
Most of my research involves using CT to examine morphological variation in animals.
