µCT: µCT data of the specimen obtained with a a SKYSCAN 1272 (Bruker micro-CT, Kontich, Belgium) at the ZFMK. The specimen was scanned in 96% ethanol. Thermal-drift correction, ring artifact reduction, and digital section reconstruction was done in NRecon 1.7 (Bruker micro-CT, Kontich, Belgium). For scanning and reconstruction parameters see the inlcuded log-file (Siphonorhinidae_sp_MYR09076_14032022_.txt). Grey values and orientation of the image stacks were adjusted in Fiji (ImageJ) version 1.53t (SCHINDELIN et al. 2012). The reconstructed image stack is provided as 8bit-TIFF-files of the sagittal plane, numberd subsequently from right to left.

SEM: After µCT, the specimen was dissected, dried using a Leica EM CPD 300 critical point dryer, and mounted with conductive tape on aluminum stubs and coated with gold (ca. 35 nm) in a Cressington sputter coater 108auto for 240 seconds. SEM Images were taken with a Zeiss Gemini Sigma 300 VP scanning electron microscop. Images are provided as TIFF-files.
