A new 3D imaging method for micropaleontology in ambers and entomology using basic light source: the Optical Coherence Tomography (FF-OCT)

3D methods are gaining importance in the reconstruction of palaeontological objects for illustration in both scientific and popular realms. The availability of various methods, mainly techniques using X-rays, has enabled a very rapid development of powerful tools in the study of fossils. These include synchrotron facilities and CT scanners of different size and power.However, some tomographic methods using basic light (optical tomographies),...
