Confocal and micro-CT data of Angucharcotes thayerae, holotype, NIGP180055

This dataset contains the raw confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) slices and X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) slices for the holotype of Angucharcotes thayerae (NIGP180055) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. This dataset is associated with the publication "Earliest fossil record of Phloeocharinae in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)" (DOI:10.1016/j.cretres.2022.105371).

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, 1.4777 μm; power, 3 W; acceleration voltage, 40 kV; exposure time, 5 s; projections, 2801. The TIFF stack is provided.

本数据集包含产自白垩纪中期缅甸琥珀的Angucharcotes thayerae正模标本（NIGP180055）的共聚焦激光扫描显微镜（Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy, CLSM）切片与X射线显微断层扫描（X-ray microtomography, micro-CT）原始影像数据。本数据集关联发表论文《缅甸北部白垩纪中期琥珀中发现的苔甲亚科（Phloeocharinae）最早化石记录（鞘翅目（Coleoptera）：隐翅虫科（Staphylinidae））》（DOI:10.1016/j.cretres.2022.105371）。

共聚焦影像采用蔡司LSM710共聚焦激光扫描显微镜获取，使用488 nm（氩离子）激光激发光路。数据集提供原始CZI格式文件，可通过ZEISS ZEN软件打开。

X射线显微断层扫描数据采用蔡司Xradia 520 Versa三维X射线显微镜获取。扫描参数如下：各向同性体素尺寸1.4777 μm；功率3 W；加速电压40 kV；曝光时长5 s；投影数2801。数据集提供TIFF格式图像栈。
