Abstract

X-ray 3D micro-computer tomography has been used to investigate, at a spatial resolution up to 10 µm, the internal architecture of a juvenile exemplar of Sepia officinalis L phragmocone. Resulting tomographic images have shown with clarity details of cuttlebone siphuncular zone such as septa and pillars, as well as their insertion zone to hypostracum. At the same time, 3D tomographic images have revealed a local anomaly of the phragmocone consisting of double septa instead of single ones..
