	note = {X-ray CT scans of sediment cores have proved valuable tools for visualizing and analyzing the cores without disturbing them.  Geologists are interested in the microbial communities present in the cores; however, X-Rays are known to kill cells.  This Honors thesis discusses research done in 2017 on the potential harm that the scans might do to microbes in sediment cores. {\textquotedblleft}With the knowledge gained from my study I was able determine how CT scanning affected microbial community data in geological cores I used, and whether physical and chemical properties of the cores played a role in how CT scanning impacted the microbial communities. I also determined that, according to the conditions used in my study, different approaches will not be needed to preserve microbial features in geological cores that are scanned using X-ray CT, and I therefore concluded that current approaches are appropriate for continued use.{\textquotedblright} (p.18)  Nicely illustrated.},
