| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to establish the three-dimensional scanning using X-ray microCT as a practical description tool for taxonomic characters of radiolarians. As a result of this study, resolution capability of our device, that demonstrated the ability to reach under 1 micrometer, enable us to describe for all characters of radiolarian skeletons. On a practical analysis for spherical Nassellarian skeletons, initial spicules in closed-spherical shells were recorded for the first time, non-destructively. Responses for this new technology were terrific at the international association for radiolarian scientists.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
地球史を解明する重要なツールである放散虫化石に対し，高解像型Ｘ線マイクロCTによる３Ｄイメージング技術を古生物学的記載手段とした．本研究で達成した解像度はナノメートルオーダーであり，放散虫の全形質を記録できる．これまで放散虫の観察は光学顕微鏡や走査型電子顕微鏡が使われてきたが，Ｘ線マイクロCTは第３の記載ツールとして確立され，専門家からもその有用性を称賛されている．
