Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

The correct classification of organisms based on specific rules is essential in biological
sciences. Traditionally, morphological characteristics such as size, shape, color, and …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging technique that today
constitutes one of the main pillars of preclinical and clinical imaging. MRI's capacity to depict …

Continuous improvements in the resolution of three-dimensional imaging have led to an
increased application of these techniques in conventional taxonomic research in recent …

The use of high resolution, three-dimensional visualization has been receiving a growing
interest within life sciences, with non-invasive imaging tools becoming more readily …

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT or microtomography) is a non-destructive imaging
technique using X-rays which allows the digitisation of an object in three dimensions. The …

Correct identification of species is required to assess and understand the biodiversity of an
ecosystem. In the deep sea, however, this is only possible to a limited extent, as a large part …

This paper reports a light sheet fluorescence imaging flow cytometer for 3D sectioning of
phytoplankton. The instrument developed has the inherent advantages of high cell counting …

Chameleons are highly specialized and mostly arboreal lizards characterized by a suite of
derived characters. The grasping feet and tail are thought to be related to the arboreal …

High-resolution 3D imaging of species with exoskeletons such as shell-bearing mollusks
typically involves destructive steps. Nondestructive alternatives are desirable since samples …
