Also interested in playing with: * Syncrotrons—provided we can stick a 2cm fish inside. (Whole-body scan NOT required!) * Large CNCs and metal 3D printers * Granite Rapids Xeons with 1TB+ of MRDIMMs * Unreleased Blackwell workstation cards * Anybody with live Rockhead Poachers

Related: does anybody have a Sigray Eclipse? Because I'd REALLLLLLLLLLY like to stick a fish in it. Pseudo monochromatic non geometric magnified goodness. ♥️🐟🖥️♥️

Incidentally, here's my beloved Rockhead... And his brain. And his CNS up to SN4. And his semicircular canals. And the supporting vasculature. #RockheadPoacher #FishBothering #NanoCT #ScanAllFishes

When I'm not #Fishbothering, I like fish scanning. Typical fishy CT projects revolve around mass-scanning of phylogenies to make some sort of PCA... I just try to scan one animal at progressively more ludicrous detail. #NanoCT #ScanAllFishes

I'd never trust somebody who dislikes lumpsuckers. #Fishbothering

I finally have an @ethankocak.com avatar! Check out that adorable Bothragonus. Holey-head-fish-friend! Thanks so much, Prosanta ♥️

Hahahahaha I have such incredible bedhead in this picture! The caricature is adorable though. Little googly eyed poacher!

A few of my #FishBothering exploits. Wonderful creatures, all!

Thanks so much @ethankocak.com for these wonderful avatars of my lab. They all love them. Folks Ethan is the best - send him some projects, his prices are very reasonable, and he is the nicest person too. @thegarfather.bsky.social @ichthyangela.bsky.social @danielgeldof.bsky.social

Really proud of @danielgeldof.bsky.social who did a really nice for his entrance seminar telling us all about his poachers and their weird anatomy (which he has been relentlessly CT scanning to the nanoscale) #LSU_fish #ichthyology

Rockhead poacher (Bothragonus swanii) embedded in agarose for a super high resolution scanning adventure. As you can see, he's pumped to be imaged. #FishSci #ScanAllFishes #HoleyHeadFishFriend #Overt

Here are some extremely quick snaps of a 3.8 micron Rockhead cranial pit in Avizo and 3D slicer. These are photos of my monitor after ~5 minutes of examining them—suffice to say there will be better things coming. Initial conclusions: Fishy is dope

It took me three years (and a $1.3m Thermo NanoCT) but I think I've finally dethroned Diego Vaz's magnificent 7.8 micron Rockhead Poacher scan as the best Cottoid scan I've ever seen. Naturally, my scan is also a Rockhead Poacher. With luck, I'll have some first images later this week!

They are indeed extremely weird
