This project is the first chapter of a PhD on morphological diversity in Australian rodents. It will be published as a methodology paper in PeerJ, titled "Low resolution scans can provide a sufficiently accurate, cost- and time-effective alternative to high resolution scans for 3D shape analyses." I have used both scanning devices on 20 unique individuals' crania from the smallest rodent species in Australia (Pseudomys delicatulus). This project includes raw DICOM files for the microCT scans, as well as the finalized .STL files from both the microCT and the 3D scanners which I used for landmarking.
