Surface contrast enhancement of integumentary structures in X‐ray tomography

Micro-computed tomography (μCT) has become standard in the biological sciences to reconstruct, display and analyse 3D models of all kinds of organisms. However, it is often impossible to capture fine details of the surface and the internal anatomy at the same time with sufficient contrast. Here we introduce a new approach for the selective contrast-enhancement of integumentary surface structures. The method relies on conventional and readily...
