X-ray microtomography of unstained soft tissues




Fig.1 : Semitransparant 3D model of the human pineal gland.
The red color corresponds to calcified inclusions.



Fig.2 : Cross-section of human pineal glands.
Calcification has been studied quantitatively.



Fig.3 : Mouse brain in alkohol with metal inclusions (dark spots)




Fig.4 : 3D stereo model of a rat embryo. The image is built from unstained scans.
To see the stereo effect red-green glasses are needed.
