Why choose X-ray tomography or microCT?

X-ray tomography is now a reference method for non-destructive three-dimensional imaging. Its principle is based on capturing a large number of X-ray images from different angles, which are then combined digitally to reconstruct the internal structure of an object. Tomography, which has become essential in various fields such as material

3D characterisation of fibres orientation in a composite

The images from X-ray microtomography (μCT) allow for advanced analyses at the fiber level: composites, fabrics, plants, paper. We have developed algorithms dedicated to high-resolution image analyses in order to calculate the orientation fields of fibers in samples or complete parts. The material is probed ‘as-is’, without the need to

Why choose microCT to study granulometry?

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

Optimizing X-ray CT with virtual tomography

On September 13, 2023, Rigaku hosted an episode of its Ask the Expert webinar series, featuring Dr. Awen Autret, R&D Engineer at Novitom. The session, titled “Virtual Tomography – Optimizing Data Acquisition Parameters Without a CT Scanner”, explored how advanced simulation can accelerate and enhance X-ray CT imaging workflows. Dr.
