One imaging modality, X-ray microcomputed tomography (microCT) shows promise as a cost-effective means for detecting and characterizing soft-tissue structures, skeletal abnormalities, and tumors in live animals. MicroCT systems provide highresolution images (typically 50 microns or less), rapid data...
Our destination was a hippo pool a short distance from camp. With water diminishing throughout the park, it was hippo central, with two dozen animals jostling one another for space. I finally got my chance to photograph them yawning, the massive tusks contradicting their comical appearance. Egre...
For a long period, one butterflyfish spent much of its time in front of my mask at each session while I watched the sharks—whenever I looked up, it would be peering in at me. Self-awareness That these animals would make an effort to attract my attention suggested that they understood ...
2.2 Performance evaluation standards of X-ray detectors The sensitivity (S)S) and detection limit (or the limit of detection, LoD) are the most-used evaluation parameters for X-ray detectors. The sensitivity represents the ability of the detector to convert X-ray photons to electronic signals,...

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was employed to analyze the elemental composition of the external surface of the cuticle in various cephalothoracic structures of Marsupenaeus japonicus. Both soft structures, such as the antenna, and hard structures, including the rostrum and the spear-like...

X-Ray Mag contributors reveal the intriguing behaviors of marine mammals underwater—from Crystal River in Florida to the tropical waters of Tonga, Dominica, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic and the Red Sea, to the subtropical waters off Florida, Southern California and Baha in Mexico—where ...
It explains the migration of big marine animals that visit Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef at various times of the year. I am referring to the whale sharks, manta rays and humpback whales and, by consequence, their predators: the orcas and others. Whale sharks The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) ...
