ABSTRACT
TomographySynchrotron tomography is based on the detection of radiographic images collected by illuminating a measurement object from many different angular directions. Thereby, X-rays pass through the object mounted on a rotation stage (see Fig. 11.1). The attenuated X-rays are recorded by a detector system mostly composed of a microscope optic connected on a CCD camera. In front of the microscope optics, a scintillator screen converts the X-ray light into visible light. The digital radiographic images are read out into a computer where they are collected and processed.
