Optimisation of X-ray micro-tomography for the low-dose analysis of highly-dosed gels

  • 1. School of Electronics and Physical Sciences, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7XH (United Kingdom)

Description

An X-ray micro-tomography system has been designed that is optimised for low dose imaging of radiation sensitive polymer gels. The scanner is based on a third-generation cone-beam X-ray CT scanner. A mini-focus X-ray source (Oxford XTF5011 or an Oxford series 1500) is used in conjunction with a 100mm diameter X-ray image intensifier (Hamamatsu C7336). The sample may be rotated and moved perpendicular to the beam axis
