Virtual dissection of Aedes aegypti mosquito using phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, in‐line phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography was used to study the morphology of adult Aedes aegypti. These specimens are vectors of several arboviruses, causing dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever. The morphological details of this insect species are still incomplete and insufficient.
