µCT scan: Cryptophyllium westwoodii female head and thorax (Phasmatodea: Phylliidae)

CT data Cryptophyllium westwoodii female, head and thorax. We used the EasyTom μ-CT system (RX Solutions, France) at the Institute for X-Ray Physics, Göttingen, Germany, equipped with a sealed X-ray tube (Hamamatsu L12161-07) that utilizes a tungsten (W) target, offering a spot size of 5 μm in small focal spot mode. We utilized a CCD detector (Gadox-scintillator) with a pixel size of 9x9 μm², employing 2x2 binning for capturing projection images. To ensure optimal imaging for each individual specimen, we adjusted several parameters. For data processing, the acquired data underwent reconstruction using the software provided with the instrument. tube voltage (kV): 60 geometric magnification: 3 voxel size (µm): 6.82 number of acquisition angles: 1568 accumulation time (s): 6 total scan time (h) (+-10min): 7 number of turns: 2 overhead in %: 33.9 detector pixelsize (µm): 18 source-object-distance (mm): 56.4 source-detector-distance (mm): 148.7
