The short answer is between $200,000 to over $1,000,000. The longer answer, and the reason for the wide price range, is that the price of a micro-CT depends on the types of samples you are scanning and the results you need from the system. This determines the resolution needed

Nutmeg is a key ingredient in fall and winter seasonal dishes, especially in combination with cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. As Thanksgiving approaches, we imaged a nutmeg seed using our new SkyScan 1272 CMOS edition desktop micro-CT, which is ideal for digitizing natural history samples. This upgraded instrument
Micro-CT is a useful tool for enabling the digital imaging of whole objects in three dimensions. The power of micro-CT to visualize internal features without disarticulation makes it particularly valuable for the study of botanical specimens. Botanists can study anatomical structures in 3D and determine key characteristics such as
Beetles are the largest insect order, with Tribolium castaneum as the first species with a completely sequenced genome; beetles may now be new candidates for model organisms in various studies. Almost a quarter of all known types of animals are beetles, with approximately 400,000 species constituting almost 25% of
Micro-CT imaging is highly effective for the comprehensive study of internal structures and skeletal elements of beetles, and is important for research in biological and chemical pest control, food and food storage, the protection of fiber crops, pharmaceuticals, epidemiology, and environmental studies. Beetles are the largest insect order, with
Snakes are elongated, limbless, carnivorous reptiles that first appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous period, between 145.5 and 65.5 million years ago. The study of snakes has been greatly advanced by the use of micro-CT scanning, which has allowed comprehensive study of internal structures and skeletal
Micro-CT imaging is highly effective for the comprehensive study of internal structures and skeletal elements of snakes, and can facilitate morphometric studies, phylogenetics analysis, and biomechanics modeling. In addition to skeletal studies, including research on the head, jaw, and tail, current research also focuses on studying venomous snake fangs
