Confocal and micro-CT data of Notocupes sp., BA202101

This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) slices for the specimen of Notocupes sp. (BA202101) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. This dataset is associated with the publication "New species of Notocupes from the Middle Jurassic Daohugou beds, with discussion on the circumscription of the genus" (DOI:10.11646/palaeoentomology.6.4.11).

Confocal images were obtained with a Zeiss LSM710 confocal laser scanning microscope, using the 488 nm Argon 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, 14.096 μm; power, 3 W; acceleration voltage, 40 kV; exposure time, 4 s; projections, 2001. The TIFF stack is provided.
