Why choose X-ray tomography or microCT?

X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) images enable advanced particle size analysis, allowing the characterisation of the size, shape, and spatial distribution of particles, pores, or inclusions that make up one or more phases of a material.
The material is probed “as is” , i.e. without the need for conditioning. The three-dimensional nature of the data from micro-CT allows for the extraction of rich 3D particle size descriptors for the characterisation of multiphase systems.
When the material being studied is single-phase, the segmentation step involves differentiating the voxels belonging to the material from the voxels belonging to the surrounding air. In the case of a multi-phase material, such as a composite material, this step involves distinguishing the phase being studied from the other phases of the material.
Calculating the particle size parameters of a particle (or pore) requires the ability to distinguish and isolate it from neighbouring particles. The labeling step thus consists of assigning a specific value to all voxels belonging to the same particle, different from the value of voxels belonging to other particles.
Many characteristics can be calculated from microtomography data.
They are presented in the form of graphs representing distributions in number, volume, as a function of distance to a reference point of the object, or other metric of interest.
We also develop measures tailored to your needs: calculation method, graphical or 2D image rendering, 3D volume, 2D or 3D animation.
