Angela,
We are studying lobster cuticle with the SkyScan 1272 (which has a carousel
sampler that holds 18 samples). My regular sized object is a 6mm medallion of
cuticle which can be scanned entirely at at 2.5 um resolution. Smaller regions
of interest can be analyzed but the size of the computational boundary must be
smaller. We recently published a MS on cuticle structures available at URL:
http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/kunkel/pub/reprints/FISH_4564_20161020JGKarch.pdf
We provide a Supplementar Table that lists the size of the scan and achievable
resolution at that size.
The 1172 and 1174 both have a 6um resolution ‘limit’ perhaps associated with
scanning larger structures.
I am not sure what the differentiates the 72 vs 74.
