bit.ly/123LdTs. Animation of microCT slices through a pouch young of a Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana, OUVC 10713). This specimen is a ~21-day-old joey that was fixed in formalin, immersed in a solution of iodine potassium iodide (25% Lugol's) to provide soft-tissue resolution, and then microCT-scanned at 45 µm. The animation runs through slices in all three planes. The 3D visualization work was done in Avizo, QuickTime, and Adobe Premiere by Ashley Morhardt. The raw µCT-scan data can be downloaded in DICOM format for free at the site linked above. Visit our Facebook page for more content like this: facebook.com/witmerlab .
