Confocal and micro-CT data of Vicelva rasilis, holotype, NIGP166145
Authors/Creators
Description
This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) slices for the holotype of Vicelva rasilis (NIGP166145) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. This dataset is associated with the publication "A new fossil species of the extant genus Vicelva from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)" (DOI:10.1002/ece3.11487).
Confocal images were obtained with a Zeiss LSM710 confocal laser scanning microscope, using the 488 nm (Argon) or 561 nm (DPSS 561-10) laser excitation line. The original CZI files are provided, which could be opened by the ZEISS ZEN software.
Micro-CT data were obtained with a Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa 3D X-ray microscope. Scanning parameters were as follows: isotropic voxel size, 6.8202 μm; power, 4 W; acceleration voltage, 50 kV; exposure time, 1.5 s; projections, 2401. The TIFF stack is provided.
