Particle, Pore, and Fiber Analysis
X-ray CT (computed tomography) can image objects in 3D non-destructively and analyze sizes and shapes of particles, pores, and fibers at millimeter to sub-micron scale. This technique is often applied to analyze pores in foams, grains in geological samples, fibers and fillers in composites, etc.

How does it work?
Analysis procedure
The particle, pore, and fiber analysis involves the following steps:
- Obtain a CT scan of the object.
- The CT images are segmented into different materials, such as pores and matrices.
- The elements, such as pores, are separated and indexed to individually analyze their sizes and shapes.
