Confocal and micro-CT data of Granulobium whitei, holotype, NIGP201648

This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) slices for the holotype of Granulobium whitei (NIGP201648) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. This dataset is associated with the publication "Earliest fossil record of Eucradinae in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar (Coleoptera: Ptinidae)" (DOI:10.3140/bull.geosci.1876).

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, 2.6255 μm; power, 4 W; acceleration voltage, 50 kV; exposure time, 1.5 s; projections, 3001. The TIFF stack is provided.
