X-ray microtomography.
A microscope system based on the principles of computerized axial tomography is described for determining the distribution of the X-ray absorption coefficient in a slice from a solid object without cutting sections. An application is given to determining the distribution at a resolution of about 15 micrometer through a shell of about 0.5 mm diameter.
