3D Imaging and Modeling Laboratory

In the 3D Imaging and Modeling Laboratory, we scan a wide range of objects, including zoological museum specimens, their tissues, and teeth. We generate high-quality 3D models and support researchers in their quantitative and qualitative analyses.

We are equipped with an ATOS Core 3D scanner (GOM), suitable for objects ranging from small specimens (e.g., teeth or small skulls) to larger ones such as bison skulls. In addition, we use a high-resolution in vivo X-ray micro-computed tomography system (SkyScan 1276, Bruker) with an inhalation anesthesia setup, enabling the scanning of specimens up to 150 mm in length and 1000 g in weight.

We have extensive experience in scanning and processing 3D models of bones and teeth, including applications such as age estimation. We also specialize in diceCT staining, as well as the scanning and segmentation of soft tissues.
