Non-invasive imaging methods applied to neo- and paleo-ontological cephalopod research

Non-invasive imaging methods applied to neo- and paleo-ontological cephalopod research

Several non-invasive methods are common practice in natural sciences today. Here we present how they can be applied and contribute to current topics in cephalopod (paleo-) biology. Different methods will be compared in terms of time necessary to acquire the data, amount of data, accuracy/resolution,...
