About MICRO
offers microCT scanning of cultural artifacts and other natural history specimens and samples. Working with conservators, we have scanned pottery, musical instruments, seed bags, sherds, coral, fossils, recent zoological specimens, and geological samples. Created in 2018, MICRO has one of the newest models of micro-CT scanners, with three X-ray emitting targets that penetrate low and high-density objects to provide crystal-clear imaging. MICRO is a world leader in diceCT scanning. Our technician has 10 years of museum artifact handling experience and will take great care of your objects.
MICRO is a part of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, under the umbrella of CAST (Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies). We are housed in the J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. Center for Academic Excellence (JBHT).
