These microCTs are gorgeous😍 Would love to 3D print this gal in fancy iridescent PLA, I have a hunch she would look amazing! https://t.co/385wGvq164

A few weeks ago I got to play with a fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) scan. One of the longest prints I've done clocking in at 34 hrs. A bit of a process to clean up the printing supports but managed to preserve most fine structures including the stinger!

Día 7 de construcción de este nido de horneros! Última fase: hacer el tabique que permitirá que adentro del nido quede un cuartito donde poner los huevos y pichones 🐣 Day 7 - almost finished! Last details before laying the first eggs! #hornero

The new paper by Rebecca Spiecker et al. demonstrates dose-efficient #Xray imaging of living organisms. Using this technique, we were able to observe tiny parasitoid #wasps in vivo within their host eggs . Measurements were done at @KITKarlsruhe's new beamline at @desy.
The new X-ray imaging technique can produce detailed images of living organisms with a much lower X-ray dose than previously possible. The researchers used the new technique to image tiny parasitoid wasps emerging from their host eggs for more than 30 minutes.

Last week @pipilika_aj and I did some exciting microCT tests for a range of different specimens and mounting configurations! Here are some of the stingers I was checking out (some more successful than others). Thanks Ajay for hosting the fun lab shenanigans! #microCT #hymenoptera

First attempts at segmenting and exporting meshes on @OrsDragonfly3D Still a long way to go but promising beginnings! This prawn looking thing is an ichneumonid abdomen with a nice and long ovipositor🍤🍤🍤 #hymenoptera #microCT #prusa

About four years ago @ReneBulla and I pitched David (@EvoBiomech) the idea for this. I just wanted to scan some ants and see if that would make using machine learning tools a little more robust. I hope this will bring some enjoyment to fellow part-time ecologists❤️
1/ 🤖 New paper hot off the press 🐜 Automated behavioural analysis using machine learning is great, but still needs lots of effort to curate training data. What if a computer could generate that data for you? Say hello to replicAnt https://t.co/LtCipnE59E

Is it a lamprey?? Is it a reptile?? No! It's a dandelion seed! Imaging some non-insect specimens for a change :) #SEM #Microscopy

Finally settling back into Australia after a long Europe trip! Thank you to CCPi and @ToScAConference for sponsoring my travel!! The conference was amazing with tonnes of super diverse presenters! I also got to see the amazing CT facilities at Manchester and learn some Dragonfly!
