X-ray computed microtomography (mu CT) is a powerful tool to reveal the 3D structure of tissues and organs. Compared with the traditional sectioning, staining, and microscopy image acquisition, it allows a better understanding of the morphology and a precise morphometric analysis. Here, we describe a method for 3D visualization and morphometric analysis by mu CT scanning of the embryonic heart of iodine-stained E15.5 mouse embryos.

Abstract
X-ray computed microtomography (mu CT) is a powerful tool to reveal the 3D structure of tissues and organs. Compared with the traditional sectioning, staining, and microscopy image acquisition, it allows a better understanding of the morphology and a precise morphometric analysis. Here, we describe a method for 3D visualization and morphometric analysis by mu CT scanning of the embryonic heart of iodine-stained E15.5 mouse embryos.
