Virtual morphology laboratory, headed by research group member Dr. Markus Bastir, for the application of different methods and techniques for quantitative research in 3D morphology using computerised (virtual) techniques.

The laboratory is equipped to allow the digitisation of anatomical objects by means of a scanner, either surface (laser, structured light) or computed tomography (clinical CT, or microCT) to obtain a virtual 3D model of the object under study, 3D quantification by measurement of landmarks and semilandmarks to obtain quantitative morphology data, statistical analysis of the quantitative data by geometric morphometry (Procrustes analysis), virtual modelling, and rapid prototyping of all these virtual models by 3D printing in different sizes (original scale, larger or smaller) for study, scientific communication or also for museum purposes.
