Confocal and micro-CT data of Serracyphon philipsi, holotype, NIGP205271

This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) slices for the holotype of Serracyphon philipsi (NIGP205271) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. This dataset is associated with the publication "Revised phylogenomic analysis and Cretaceous fossil evidence reveal new insights into evolution of Scirtinae (Coleoptera: Scirtidae)" (DOI:10.1111/jse.13182). 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: isotropic voxel size, 4.2766 μm; power, 4 W; acceleration voltage, 50 kV; exposure time, 1.5 s; projections, 2501. The TIFF stack is provided.
