Nate Shoobs, curator of mollusks and crustaceans at The Ohio State University’s Museum of Biological Diversity (MBD), uses the Heliscan to perform micro computed-tomography (microCT) to see inside both extinct and still-living species of freshwater mussels to understand their anatomy better. His work aims to help researchers study the internal anatomy of both extinct and extant species of mussels and create 3D models that can be analyzed by other researchers.
