Description
Uppsala University intends to sign an agreement with European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble for performing synchrotron microtomography scanning of fossils. Background and motivation Synchrotron microtomography scanning of fossils is used to visualise the internal three-dimensional structure of the fossils, allowing these to be studied without damage. The technique is central to the research of the Programme of Evolution and Development and underlies a large proportion of their publications. Imaging needs to be done at a range of resolutions from approximately 40 µm (for morphology large objects) down to 0.7 µm (for detailed examination of histology), with an option to carry out multi-scale scanning on one specimen without dismounting it from the apparatus. In order for the research to be completed successfully it is essential to obtain the highest possible image quality, with sharp outlines, no beam-hardening artefacts (which artificially brighten the edges of the scanned object), and maximum contrast between bone and surrounding rock. This can only be achieved by propagation phase contrast synchrotron microtomography; conventional microtomography using non-synchro…
