Description

The external trochanter muscles (orange) of mid- and hindlegs originate on fused meso- and metafurcae (blue) in Cataglyphis savignyi queens. Depressor muscles of the petiole (light blue) originate on base of T3 furca.
 

Micro-CT scans were performed at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University, Japan.

Segmentation of the reconstructed image stacks was performed with ITK-SNAP 3.6.0. Structures were segmented manually.
