About us

Archives of Digital Morph is a project-based data archive that allows researchers to store and organize, share, and distribute their own 3d data. Furthermore any registered user can immediately search for and download 3d morphological data sets that have been made accessible through the consent of data authors.

The goal of Archives of Digital Morph is to provide rapid access to as many researchers as possible, large numbers of raw microCt data and surface meshes representing vouchered specimens.

File formats include stl, tiff, raw, and ply. The website is designed to be self explanatory and to assist you through the process of uploading media and associating it with meta data. If you are interested in using the site for your own data but have questions about security or anything else contact the site administrator. Otherwise please download whatever data you need and check back frequently to see what's new.

Equipment

160KV Micro-Computed Laminography system

The 160-Micro-CL (Computed Laminography) is a high-resolution CT suitable for scanning lamellar fossils. Its maximum voltage can up to 160 kV, the maximum current can up to 1.0 mA, and the highest spatial resolution is 10 µm. It can achieve a fine scan of the internal structure and microscopic histological structures of lamellar fossil materials.

450 kV industry-computerized tomography

The 450 kV industry-computerized tomography can perform CT tomography on larger fossil specimens with a diameter of less than 35 cm, such as rhino skulls, large dinosaur fossil skulls, ancient human skulls, etc. The maximum effective scanning diameter is 800 mm, the effective scanning height is 1000 mm, and the rays can penetrate up to 60 mm of Fe.

225 kV micro-computerized tomography

The 225kV micro-computerized tomography can perform high-precision CT tomography on fossil specimens with a diameter of less than 10 cm. The effective scanning range has a diameter of 100 mm and an effective scanning height of 100 mm. The rays can penetrate up to 35 mm of Fe, and the spatial resolution can up to 5 μm.

GE v|tome|x m300&180 micro-computed-tomography scanner

The GE v|tome|x m300&180 micro-computed-tomography scanner can achieve visualization imaging of the ultrastructure of fossils, obtaining more and more comprehensive biological information that cannot be revealed by traditional morphological studies.

SNCT-800 Specral Micro-CT

The SNCT - 800 Specral Micro - CT can obtain the internal structural composition information of the scanned fossils by using spectral imaging technology. It has the highest voltage of 160 kV X - ray source, the highest spatial resolution of 0.8 μm and two adjustable energy thresholds.

Xradia 515 Versa

The Micro-CT (Xradia 515 Versa) utilizes a unique geometric plus optical two-stage magnification imaging technology that enables high-resolution and high-lining imaging of large samples. The device is able to show the internal details of complete large samples in a 3D panorama, as well as high-resolution imaging of small samples and observation of detailed features.
