"High-throughput phenomics of global ant biodiversity", Katzke et al. 2026
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-026-03005-0"within the open science initiative ‘Antscan’, we applied high-throughput synchrotron X-ray microtomography to capture phenotypes across a diverse and ecologically dominant insect group: ants. At https://www.antscan.info, we provide 2,193 whole-body three-dimensional ant datasets from 212 genera and 792 species to broadly cover the ant phylogeny with a global scope, also pairing phenomic data with genome sequencing projects."

🆕Interview: In the accompanying blog post, the first author, Di Li, tell us about her and talks about the internal and external morphology of 𝑂𝑜𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑎 𝑏𝑖𝑟𝑜𝑖.

is happy to hear that https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.11.10.622888 “has been judged scientifically suitable for publication" in PLOS One after a round of peer review. Once "it meets all outstanding technical requirements" it will be published online. For the moment you all have to read the bioRxiv version. And can nonetheless already look into the full dataset yourself, for example at https://webknossos.org/links/U8wuIdhmfzWMr7rm

Unveiling the unseen! My first art tabling event featuring microCT-inspired creations will be at Words & Wonders on November 9th. Join me at Second Unitarian Church for readings, performances, and visual art starting at 3pm.

I made a lucky rabbit’s foot for our #microCT lab! Micro-CT scanners are really complex pieces of equipment, which means there are a lot of different things that can break or get buggy. Hopefully our sparkly purple rabbit’s foot adds just a little bit of luck that helps us to keep scanning smoothly!
Thank you to MorphoSource, the UMMZ, Roger Benson, and Cody Thompson for making this CT data available to researchers and artists!

I took a #microCT scan of an oak gall I found while waiting for the bus today. It had 4 emergence holes so I assumed all of the gall wasps had already emerged, but there are still several inside! If you look closely you can see them moving in the radiographs. 68 min scan.

Fairly neat explorable 3D model of an ant’s mouth parts, built from a #microCT scan!

Assembling the piece! I’m so excited! With all I’ve learned to make this piece a reality, I have so many ideas about where to go from here. Looking forward to making more art from #microCT data and exploring the beauty of #anatomy!

For all electron microscopists out there:
"Crosshair, semi-automated targeting for electron microscopy with a motorised ultramicrotome"
Kimberly Meechan et al. 2022 @eLife from Yannick Schwab's lab at EMBL in collaboration with The Crick institute. https://elifesciences.org/articles/80899
Presents a new method for reliably and "selectively targeting small regions of interest in a resin block by trimming with an ultramicrotome", powered by "user-friendly software to convert X-ray images of resin-embedded samples into angles and cutting depths for the ultramicrotome."
Reviewed by three outstanding electron microscopists: Christel Genaud, Song Pang, and Michaela Wilsch-Bräuninger.

With a background in art and #microCT, it was only a matter of time before I combined the two. CT scans and the hidden anatomy within are beautiful, and ideas about what to do with those forms have been been bumping around in my head for a long time. After the pandemic started, I started working on what I call the ExtraCT Skullpture project, where I’m exploring different ways to use CT data to create digital and physical art. Not sure where this is going, but I'm having fun!

I also segment #microCT data for #3Dprinting and animation for the Luo Lab, where we study the transition from not-quite-a-mammal to true mammal. This means looking at a lot of teeth, ears and hyoids. Did you know the anatomical feature that defines a true mammal is three middle ear bones (incus, malleus, and stapes) that aren’t attached to the jaw!

Our #microCT lab has contributed hundreds of scans to Morphosource via the oVert project. Researchers, educators, artists, etc. can download CT data from Morphosource free of charge! Its a great resource for anyone interested in #anatomy! https://www.morphosource.org/

We've recently set up a #microCT, #tomography and x-ray scanning service in #Melbourne.
I'm reaching out to researchers in #archeology or #paleontology based around Melbourne: if you'd like to give it a go, we'd love to scan one of your samples (at no cost!) for your next publication.Get in touch through the website 👇

CW: dead animals from museum collections
My day job mostly revolves around managing the UChicago PaleoCT Lab. This #microCT scanner can achieve resolutions of up to 1 micron and can scan through dense #fossil (though dense fossil at 1 micron would be tricky). I’ve scanned all sorts of things: #fossils (even parts of Sue the t-rex!), bones, alcohol preserved #specimens, meteorites and more!
