Industrial-strength X-ray Phase Tomography

作为该项目的结果，该项目提供的独特的3D成像能力将应用于先进制造，作为对材料和微型部件的无损评估。例如，气凝胶、多孔轻金属、聚合物和碳纤维基材料的内部结构都可以在微观尺度上成像。在健康科学中也有类似的好处，在那里可以观察到有机过程，例如，在研究和临床测试中使用的小动物可以在不破坏它们的情况下进行内部检查，从而允许重复测量。

The unique 3D imaging capability provided as a result of this project will have application to advanced manufacturing as a non-destructive evaluation for materials and micro-components. For instance, the internal structure of aerogels, porous light metals, polymers and carbon fibre based materials can all be imaged at the microscale. Similar benefits flow in health sciences where organic processes can be observed in place and where, for instance, small animals used in research and clinical testing can be inspected internally without having to destroy them, thus allowing for repeated measurements.
