Rolling animation of a microCT scan (44 µm slice thickness) of a 45-day embryo of American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis, OUVC 10117), showing a surface rendering of the skin, which fades to the skeleton. Rendered in Amira and QuickTime by Ryan Ridgely. This was one of the very first scans (mid-2006) at the Ohio University MicroCT Scanning Facility (OUµCT).
