Practical trainings, student assistants and theses

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is a 3D imaging technique used for the visualization of internal structures of the sample. High energy X-ray beam is used to penetrate the sample and the different attenuation coefficients of each component (phase) within the sample make it possible to quantify and visualize the 3D distribution of these components.
In our laboratory we analyze minerals and metals in primary and secondary raw materials.
