Abstract

Do not X-ray Microtomography (XMT) is a relatively new technology for measuring and characterising structures of materials at micron scales. It operates on the same principles as hospital CT scanners, but with much higher spatial resolution. The enhanced spatial resolution, portability and affordability, and the non-destructive nature of the measurement technique, are making XMT an increasingly popular means for scientists and engineers to measure or characterise structures of various materials in full 3D with unprecedented level of details. This paper reports on use of two such scanners and their application to porous media imaging.
