We present phase contrast x-ray tomography of functional soft tissue within the bony
cochlear capsule of mice, carried out at laboratory microfocus sources with well-matched
source, detector, geometry, and reconstruction algorithms at spatial resolutions down to 2lm.
Contrast, data quality and resolution enable the visualization of thin membranes and nerve
fibers as well as automated segmentation of surrounding bone. By complementing
synchrotron radiation imaging techniques, a broad range of biomedical applications …
