Areas of application
Main field of application of the microfocus X-ray setups are the non-invasive radiographic, radioscopic and/or tomographic investigation of multiphase flow phenomena in non-transparent (opaque) and inaccessible fluids, in particular in the context of reactor safey research, process optimization and fundamental research in the field of liquid and solidifying metals and metal alloys.
