Introduction to 3D X-Ray Microscopy

X-Rays have been widely used in the medical field for imaging and understanding sub-cutaneous problems in human fraternity in 3D space without invasive investigation. This is achieved owing to its high penetrating power, shorter wavelength and ionizing capabilities. In this talk, we will see how this technique is adopted in the field of materials and biological sciences, helping the researchers understand the interior details such as microstructure, porosity, defects etc., without destructing or sizing-down the sample of interest making it a true Non-Destructive Technique amongst several other microscopy options available. Applications include examples from Material Science/Metallurgy, Developmental Biology, Semiconductors, Geosciences etc;
