Confocal and micro-CT data of Microtrogossita qizhihaoi, holotype, NIGP173910

This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) slices for the holotype of Microtrogossita qizhihaoi (NIGP173910) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. Additional confocal data for Burmacateres longicoxa (NIGP173911, NIGP173912) are also provided. This dataset is associated with the publication "An exquisitely preserved tiny bark-gnawing beetle (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber and the phylogeny of Trogossitidae" (DOI:10.1111/jzs.12515).

Confocal images were obtained with a Zeiss LSM710 confocal laser scanning microscope, using 488 nm Argon laser excitation line. Both original CZI files and exported TIFF stacks are provided.

Micro-CT data were obtained with a Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa 3D X-ray microscope. Scanning parameters were as follows: isotropic voxel size, 2.4165 μm; power, 4 W; acceleration voltage, 50 kV; exposure time, 1.5 s; projections, 3001. The TIFF stack is provided.
