Objectif

X-ray microtomography provides 3-D images of rocks, composite materials like concrete or soils, as well as technical gadgets. It is used in material sciences and earth sciences to "map" the interior of solid samples. It is based on the fact, that different minerals attenuate X-ray differently, mainly based on their density and chemistry. This course will teach the principles of X-ray tomography, its use and limits. It will allow the participants to actually use the X-ray tomography laboratory. Some specific examples from etrology, sedimentology, and material sciences will be used.
