Dynamic Micro-CT Imaging

4D Micro-CT: Imaging Dynamic Processes in Geoscience

4D micro-CT (Micro-Computed Tomography or 3D X-ray imaging) involves imaging dynamic processes over time. This article explains step-by-step time-lapse and real-time methods, and how they can be used in geology and geoscience to image processes in rocks. These methods can also be used in other areas; If you have any questions just get in touch. Author: […]
