Noninvasive 3D Structural Analysis of Arthropod by Synchrotron X-Ray Phase Contrast Tomography

Figure 4

Volume rendering of the earthworm in ventral (a), lateral (b), and dorsal (c) views reconstructed with projections after phase retrieval. The earthworm with a streamlined and tube-shaped body is divided into segments, and the furrows can be observed clearly. The characteristic external morphology will be adapted to the living environment.
