X-ray Computed Tomography Virtual Workshop #5. Micro-CT Data Collection Techniques Part 2
You will see a demonstration of X‑ray Computed Tomography (CT) measurements using a benchtop micro-CT scanner. In this episode, particular considerations when scanning organic materials are discussed. The audience participated in selecting scanning conditions and comparing different results.
You will learn:
- How CT scans are done, starting from mounting the sample to obtaining the reconstructed volume data
- How to optimize CT scan conditions for organic materials
- How each scan condition affects the contrast, resolution, and signal-to-noise ratio
