About the Species
This specimen was collected by Hugh Stimson in Austin, Texas, and made available to the University of Texas High-Resolution X-ray CT Facility for scanning by Dr. Ronald Stearman of the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics and Dr. Peng Chai, former Ph.D. student in the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Texas at Austin.
About this Specimen
The entire specimen was scanned frozen by Richard Ketcham on 02 June 1998 along the coronal axis for a total of 572 slices, each slice 0.13 mm thick with an interslice spacing of 0.10 mm (for a slice overlap of 0.03 mm). The dataset displayed was reduced for optimal Web delivery from the original, much higher-resolution CT data.
