Confocal and micro-CT data of Basinosa pengweii, holotype, NIGP173119

This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) slices for the holotype of Basinosa pengweii (NIGP173910) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber.

Confocal images were obtained with a Zeiss LSM710 confocal laser scanning microscope, using 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, 16.919 μm; power, 5 W; acceleration voltage, 60 kV; exposure time, 2 s; projections, 2001. The TIFF stack is provided.
