Workflow for micro-CT 2D data analysis and 3D image visualization 3D reconstruction of the standardized brain atlas of (A) female Euglossa dilemma (n = 13) and (B) male Euglossa dilemma (n = 12) a, shown from the anterior and posterior view. The colour code at the bottom indicates the different segmented neuropils (see also Table 1). (C) Representation of a single micro-CT slice from a female E. dilemma stained with I2 for neural tissue enhancement, and the subsequent segmentation process (D) 3D visualization of the reconstructed E. dilemma female’s brain residing in its natural spatial arrangement within the head capsule.
