Resources

3D video image analysis system. I use extensive 3D image analysis in my lab. We have Amira, Polyworks, Rapidform, Geomagic and Osirix software for visualization and analysis of 3D data. We also have a NextEngine laser scanner and microscribe in the lab. On campus, microCT, confocal microscopy, materials testing facilities, and other resources are available, check out the Integrative Anatomy website for a list with links. See example.

The Museum of Anthropology curates archaeological and ethnological materials from most regions of the world, with strong holdings from North American skeletal populations housed at the Museum Support Center, a curation and conservation facility with 20,000 square feet of temperature-and-humidity controlled space for the collections maintained by the museum.

The Human Skeletal Remains Identification Laboratory provides an opportunity for training in skeletal biology and forensic anthropology. It contains most of the equipment needed to learn the histomorphometric analysis of the micro-structure of bone as well to make additional studies of skeletons. It is a major research facility which often is called upon to identify or describe unknown skeletons or bodies.

The Fossil Cast Collection housed in my laboratory, and one in the Department of Anthropology in Swallow Hall includes more than 400 replicas of the most important fossil human ancestors.
