CTmicroCT

CTmicroCT, also known as Computed Tomography (CT) and Micro-Computed Tomography (microCT), is a non-destructive imaging technique used to visualize the internal structure of objects in three dimensions. CTmicroCT systems use X-ray radiation to produce cross-sectional images of an object, which are then reconstructed into a 3D model using specialized software.

CTmicroCT is widely used in various fields, including materials science, biology, geology, and archaeology. In materials science, it is employed to study the microstructure of metals, ceramics, and composites, helping to understand their mechanical properties and failure mechanisms. In biology, microCT is used to analyze the internal structure of bones, teeth, and other biological specimens, providing insights into their growth, development, and disease progression. In geology, microCT is used to study the internal structure of rocks and minerals, helping to understand their formation and properties. In archaeology, microCT is used to non-destructively examine artifacts, providing detailed information about their composition and manufacturing techniques.

CTmicroCT systems come in various sizes and configurations, ranging from desktop systems for small samples to large-scale systems for larger objects. The resolution of CTmicroCT images can range from micrometers to nanometers, depending on the system and the sample size. The technique is non-destructive, meaning that the sample remains intact after imaging, making it ideal for studying delicate or valuable specimens. However, the use of X-ray radiation can pose health and safety risks, and proper precautions must be taken to minimize these risks.
