Description

Computerized axial tomography with MoKsub(α) X-radiation has been used to study a 0.8 x 0.8 mm column of human femoral bone at a resolution of 15 μm. This non-destructive X-ray microscopic technique allowed 'sections' to be made with 25 μm separation and the distribution of linear absorption coefficient in each section to be determined. (author)
