Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual forensic entomology: Improving estimates of minimum post-mortem interval with 3D micro-computed tomography
Cameron S. Richards,Thomas J. Simonsen,Richard L. Abel,Richard L. Abel,Martin J. R. Hall,Daniel A. Schwyn,Martina Wicklein +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how micro-computed tomography can be a powerful tool for describing internal and external morphological changes in Calliphora vicina during metamorphosis and a combination of external and internal morphological characters was shown to have the potential to estimate the age of blowfly pupae with a higher degree of accuracy and precision than using external morphology characters alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cultural Heritage: Digital preservation and dissemination of ancient lithic technology with modern micro-CT
TL;DR: It was found that micro-CT could produce accurate high-resolution ''virtual'' artefacts that resolve features greater than [email protected] and it was possible to visualise the key features of percussion, which distinguish intentionally made flakes from natural breakage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual dissections through micro‐CT scanning: a method for non‐destructive genitalia ‘dissections’ of valuable Lepidoptera material
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how a standard micro‐CT scanner in conjunction with freely available software can distinguish and illustrate taxonomically important characters, and a workflow by which valuable material can be made available as digital loans, and how users can subsequently carry out ‘virtual dissections’.

Micro-CT X-rays do not fragment DNA in preserved bird skins
Ursula M. Paredes,Robert Prys-Jones,Mark Adams,Jim J. Groombridge,Samit Kundu,Paul-Michael Agapow,Richard L. Abel,Richard L. Abel +7 more
TL;DR: This study tested whether exposure of museum bird skins to typical CT X-ray energies (for visualization of the skeleton) increased DNA strand fragmentation, a key factor for the success of downstream molecular applications, and found no further quantifiable degradation of DNA strand length under standardX-ray exposure obtained from the authors' bird skins sample.

Martian subsurface fluid pathways and 3D mineralogy of the Nakhla meteorite
A. W. Needham,A. W. Needham,Richard L. Abel,Richard L. Abel,Tim O R Tomkinson,Monica M. Grady,Monica M. Grady +6 more
TL;DR: The Nakhla meteorite has been investigated in order to provide a detailed picture of the fluid pathways in the volcanic subsurface of Mars as discussed by the authors, where a combination of computed tomography and electron microscopy have been used to identify, characterise and interpret the distribution, size, interconnectivity and secondary mineralisation of fractures through which water flowed.
