X ray microtomographes

X ray tomography enables to visualise the three-dimensional microstructure of both opaque and transparent media at micrometer resolution in a non-invasive way. The DMEX Center for X-ray Imaging hosts four tomographs, respectively targeting high resolution, high contrast, high speed and large field-of-view applications. The center has particular experience in "in-situ" and "in-operando" studies, where the sample is imaged while being subjected to specific conditions (flow, mechanical loading, humidity, electric charge, etc.). One scanner is equipped with a spectral detector enabling non-invasive three-dimensional mapping of heavy elements.
