摘要
Synchrotron radiation phase-contrast microtomography is sensitive to low attenuating tissues, giving an alternative visualisation of the sample and being useful for investigating microstructure inside biological specimens without staining them with a contrast medium. The phase-contrast technique has been widely used in the scientific community, as it is a technique associated with radiography and microscopy and able to enhance contrast in soft tissues, specifically at the edges, showing details that could not be seen by the absorption technique. This work aims to show the ability of synchrotron-based phase-contrast microtomography for the visualisation of soft tissues and hard internal structures of millimetre-sized biological organisms. Case studies of the anatomy of Rhodnius prolixus head and Thoropa miliaris tadpole are presented to illustrate the imaging technique.
