MAURICE-LIRA, Jorge Víctor  and  VALDEZ-CARRASCO, Jorge Manuel. X-rays and magnetic resonance in the entomology: Principles and applications. Cienc. ergo-sum [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.1, e152.  Epub Aug 22, 2022. ISSN 2395-8782.  https://doi.org/10.30878/ces.v29n1a8.

This literature review briefly describes the history and principles of X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging, its applications in entomology and other agronomic fields are analyzed, besides the perspectives for future research. It is concluded that the analyzed methodologies are non-destructive, they allow to give follow-up to the same individual through images and computerized models in two and three dimensions for the study of cells, tissues and organs in living insects. These techniques contribute to the morphological, physiological and ecological understanding of insects in different environments or treatments.

Keywords : Imaging applied to entomology; insect morphology; X-rays; NMR.
