DATASET DOWNLOAD

This folder contains 5 zipped tiff image folders, one for each sample, and this document. The images in each folder are the original 16-bit XCT reconstructed images. ‘setn’ in the file name represents the sample set and ‘samplen’ represents the sample number, which are consistent with the sample descriptions in previous publications [1, 2]. The final trailing -n represents the number of the image in the stack where higher number is toward the top of the sample.

All image data were collected using the following nominal conditions. Minor variation with geometric magnifications occurred for different samples, which resulted in small variations in voxel sizes for different samples. An optical magnification of 4x was used for all samples (the Versa CRM 500 uses a combination of optical and geometric magnification). Exposure time also varied among  the different samples. These sample-dependent image acquisition parameters are listed in Table 1. Three significant digits for voxel size were reported.

  • System: ZEISS Versa 500
  • Source voltage:  155 kV
  • Source power: 10W
  • Filter: HE6
