Synchrotron nanotomography (SR-nano-CT) is the high-resolution version of synchrotron microtomography, a non-destructive 3D imaging technique.
It is particularly well-suited for studying materials organized at the submicrometer scale, and for characterising porosities, fibres, inclusions, interfaces, and biological tissues at scales inaccessible to conventional non-destructive techniques.
Visualisation of submicron structures in 3D
High contrast, including between weakly absorbing materials
Possible coupling with stimulation devices for 4D studies: growth, corrosion, cracking, etc.
Non-destructive analysis of fragile or rare samples
Thin coatings: PVD, CVD, sol-gel deposits
Nanocomposites and hybrid composites
Alloys and superalloys: nano-precipitates, inclusions
Glass and ceramics: vitrified interfaces, protective layers
Pharmaceutical and cosmetic products: emulsions, microparticles
Biological tissues: hair, bone matrices, soft tissues
Synchrotron nanotomography: a unique technique only available at synchrotron radiation facilities
