Observation of Killifish Skeletal Structure with X-Ray CT System

Introduction

Using an X-ray CT system allows non-destructively and three dimensionally observing the internal structure of objects. In particular, the inspeXio SMX-90CT Shimadzu Microfocus X-Ray CT System offers micron- level imaging resolution that allows observing the complicated internal structures of small objects in detail. In this issue, the skeleton of a killifish is observed as an example of an application in the field of biology, where the interior is investigated from a variety of angles.
