X-ray microtomography images of trabecular bone from the femoral head and condyle of 18 avian, 72 mammalian and one crocodilian species.

This is the complete set of X-ray microtomography images used for inter-species trabecular scaling analysis in Doube et al. (2011).<br>Images were produced by scanning whole femoral heads and condyles, or 1 cm cubes cut from femoral heads and condyles, on an X-tek HMX 225 (Tring, UK), with a maximum pixel spacing of 15 µm. MD and JRH collected the specimens; MD cut the cubes; MMK did the imaging with assistance from Richie Abel of NHM London. Full details are included in the paper.<br><br>Images are spatially-calibrated 16-bit tiff stacks that will open readily in ImageJ. They have been compressed with bzip2, so will require decompression prior to loading in image processing software.<br>If you use these data, please cite both this dataset (as required by the CC BY licence) and Doube et al.
