Description

It includes the tomograms (CT-scan), the segmentation project (Mimics) the 3D rendered data (STL) of the holotype of Concavicaris woodfordi (USNM PAL 112025).

Tomograms. The specimen was micro-CT scanned using the North Star Imaging µCT scanner housed at Vanderbilt University (Tennessee, USA). 1377 two-dimensional images were obtained with a voxel size of 46 µm at a voltage of 115 kV and current of 10 µA; the volume was reconstructed using EFX-CT (North Star Imaging, Minnesota, USA).

Segmentation. Rotation (178°), cropping and conversion to 8-bit were applied to every slice prior to segmentation. Manual and semi-automatic segmentation were done using Mimics 24.0 Research Edition (Materialise). The results of the segmentation were exported as STL files. 3D rendering and processing was done using Meshlab 2021.05 (GNU GPL 3.0)
