Dear Julio and colleagues,
Fantastic work!
Do you think this technique can be used with older museum specimens? It
would be awesome to be able to non-destructively generate digital models of
holotypes and paratypes that could save a lot of time, money and damage
risk by avoiding the need to ship specimens around, thus greatly expediting
systematic and taxonomic work.
Another great use I see is that I believe these microCT digital objects can
be readily converted into 3D prints.
Congratulations and thanks for beautiful imaging :)
Cheers!
