Confocal and micro-CT data of Eucinetus spp. from Kachin amber

This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) slices for the holotypes of Eucinetus debilispinus (NIGP203939), Eucinetus panghongae (NIGP203940) and Eucinetus zhenhuai (NIGP203941). This dataset is associated with the publication "Three new species of the extant genus Eucinetus from mid-Cretaceous amber of northern Myanmar (Coleoptera: Eucinetidae)" (DOI:10.11646/zootaxa.5492.2.4).

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: NIGP203939 [isotropic voxel size, 2.2345 μm; power, 3 W; acceleration voltage, 40 kV; exposure time, 2 s; projections, 1401]; NIGP203940 [isotropic voxel size, 2.9369 μm; power, 3 W; acceleration voltage, 40 kV; exposure time, 4 s; projections, 2601]; NIGP203941 [isotropic voxel size, 3.5820 μm; power, 3 W; acceleration voltage, 40 kV; exposure time, 2 s; projections, 2501]. The TIFF stacks are provided.
