A Nikon Metrology XTek XT H 225 at the University of Manchester<br> was used. The scan used a 0.5mm Copper filter, 145 kV, uA 85, capturing 6000 <br> projections on a 3192 x 2296 detector. The projection data was reconstructed <br> using Nikon Metrology NV’s XT 5.1.4.3 software. Dataset is consists of a .vol and .vgi (metadata) file. The .vol contains the<br> raw data for the individual slices. Each image has the following properties: Images format: 32-bit float (raw)<br> Image x/y: 3189 x 3191 px <br> Number of images: 1150<br> Caculated voxel size: 19.6419 µm Uncompressed total size: 45 GB --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> dragonfly_sigaloceras_enodatum.zip<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contains: sigaloceras_enodatum_final.ORSSession | 8.8 GB (uncompressed) The sigaloceras_enodatum_final.ORSSession file is a save DragonFly session.<br> The session conatains the full setup (aligned Nutron and CT datasets, ROIs, <br> segments, and meshes) used to produce and interpret the ammonite. DragonFly version: 2021.1.0.977<br> See: https://www.theobjects.com/dragonfly/index.html DragonFly was used under the terms of its Non-Commercial Use License.<br> Non-commercial licenses are granted free-of-charge to qualified researchers, <br> academics, and non-commercial developers for non-profit research or development <br> purposes.

See: https://www.theobjects.com/dragonfly/get-non-commercial-licensing-program.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> neutron_dataset.zip<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neutron tomography was performed at the IMAT beamline of ISIS Neutron and Muon <br> Source, UK. Imaging was undertaken using an optical camera box with a <br> field-of-view of 120 x 120 mm2. A total of 1801 projections were acquired <br> over 360° rotation, with an exposure time of 30 s per projection, giving a total <br> duration of ~15 hours. Projections were reconstructed as two-dimensional <br> slices using Octopus Imaging Software. These slices have an uncompressed total <br> size of 15.4 GB. Each slice in the stack has the following properties: Images format: 16-bit .tiff<br> Image x/y: 2048 x 2048 px <br> Number of images: 2048<br> Caculated voxel size: 58 µm<br> Image size (uncompressed): 8192 MB each. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> neutron_dataset_cropped_cleaned.zip<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neutron tomographic slices that have been cropped and cleaned (ie. had background <br> noise removed) based on images in neutron_dataset.zip. Images in .tiff format.<br> 1715 images in stack. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> photogrammetry_block_model.ply<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Model in .ply format (with coloured vertex) showing the limestone block and <br> counter-part of the ammonite. 257136 vertices and 513513 faces. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> photogrammetry_dataset.zip<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photographs, with backgrounds removed, used to generate the 3D block model via<br> photogrammetry. The .zip archive contains 142 photographs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> stl_model_meshes.zip<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .zip archive containing the 49 .stl meshes used in the creation of the 3D<br> reconstructions. These meshes have been smoothed within DragonFly prior to <br> exportation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> video.mkv<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video showing annimation starting with the limestone block and ammonite in<br> place, ammonite is then shown on its own, before the combinded neutron and x-ray<br> tomography results are presented. Length: 00:43 min<br> Size: 20.6 MB<br> Format: .mkv --------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> video_blender.zip<br> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This .zip contains the Blender file used in the creation of the video.
