Synchrotron radiation‐based micro‐computer tomography (SRm̈CT) is a destruction‐free technique which offers a convenient way to distinguish between mineralized tissues and the surrounding organic tissue. Its special properties make this method ideal for the study of biomineralized tissues. Virtual sectioning after computerized three‐dimensional (3‐D) reconstruction allows hidden internal structures to be visualized, and the advantage that destruction of the sample ‐ as occurs in “real‐life” cutting ‐ can be avoided. In this chapter, following a brief description of the method per se, its application to zebrafish (Danio rerio) and to a terrestrial crustacean, the common woodlouse, Porcellio scaber, are presented. The teeth and bone of Danio rerio, and the mineralized exoskeleton and sternal calcium carbonate deposits of Porcellio scaber, will be discussed.
