Reconstructed cross section and three-dimensional structure of mouse digits. The sample was from an animal that was sacrificed for a different experiment, kept frozen, and warmed just before the experiment. With a peak X-ray energy of 16.5 keV, 1365 projections were continuously recorded over 180°. The total exposure time was 48 s. (a) Cross section of a middle digit of a hind leg. One side of the image is 2.2 mm. (b) Three-dimensional reconstruction of a paw of a foreleg. The image size is 3.9 mm × 5.6 mm. |
