Funded Activity Summary
A Micro-CT facility for non-destructive 3D X-ray microscopy of opaque materials. This project will establish a Micro-CT facility for non-destructive 3D X-ray microscopy of the internal structure of materials. The facility will support research from a broad spectrum of disciplines and extend regional microscopy and microanalysis capabilities. With a resolution of 1.8µm this instrument will provide 3D images with virtually no sample preparation. The range of materials that this applies to includes minerals, wood, biomaterials, polymers, composites, archaeological ceramics and mummified tissue, and biological materials such as bone, teeth and coral. This facilitates research which had been considered too difficult because of the sample preparation needed to examine internal structure.Funded Activity Details
