Imaging is the cornerstone of materials characterization. Until the middle of the present
century, visible light imaging provided much of the information about materials. Though …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) X-ray imaging methods have advanced tremendously
during recent years. Traditional tomography uses absorption as the contrast mechanism, but …

X-ray imaging and X-ray computed tomography (XCT) provide non-destructive
characterization capabilities on opaque objects across a range of length scales, observing …

[en] This book summarizes the works carried out during a workshop that brought together
European specialists of X-ray tomography. Different aspects are reviewed: global …

The continuing development of X-ray light sources, optical devices and image analysis
technologies enables us to nondestructively analyze internal structures of materials by using …

Three-dimensional (3D) tomographic imaging of the structural, chemical, and physical
properties of a material provides key knowledge that links the structure of a material to both …

For many people, X-ray tomography, also known as CT (Computed Tomography) or CAT-
scan (Computed Axial Tomography), is devoted for medical applications to visualize three …

In this tutorial, we describe X-ray microtomography as a technique to nondestructively
characterize material microstructure in three dimensions at a micron level spatial resolution …

Since its development in the 1970s (Hounsfield, Br J Radiol 46 (552): 1016–1022, 1973)[1],
X-ray tomography has been used to study the three dimensional (3D) structure of nearly …

Most materials are opaque, and their study is therefore carried out mainly through the
observation of their surface. Materials are inert to most of the electromagnetic radiation, but …
