Abstract
Methods
Specimen PIN 5087/108 was scanned with a resolution of 3.94 μm using the 180 kV x-ray tube of the v|tome|x s μCT device (GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies GmbH phoenix|x-ray) housed in the Institut für Geowissenschaften, Universität Bonn, Germany. Scan settings were 90 kV and 90 μA with a shutter speed of 400 ms per capture. The instrument produced isotropic voxels, and the single image size is 1024 × 1024 pixels. Specimens LMCCE 010/2 and LMCCE 010/4 were both scanned at a resolution of 2.82 µm using the 180 kV x-ray tube and scan settings were 80 kV and 110 µA with a capture timing of 1000 ms (the machine has since been improved now producing an image size of 2048 x 2048). Avizo 8 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used for segmentation and creating surface models. Polyworks 2014 (innovmetric) was used to smooth the surface in case of LMCCE 010/4 using the Gouraud filter function (at correction levels 0.1 and 0.3), and for the reduction of data sizes.
