A particle accelerator helped scientists create stunning 3D ants
For more than ten years, Evan Economo’s lab has relied on micro CT scanners to image insect specimens. These X ray scans allow scientists to examine the physical structure and form of insects, an area of research known as morphology. Although the technique provides extremely detailed 3D data, it is expensive and slow.
“One limitation is that you can get this rich 3D dataset, but it could take 10…
