Abstract:
Digital imaging using high-resolution X-ray micro-computed tomography has become a methodology with increasing importance for assessing wood tissues. This chapter aims to describe the use of this nondestructive, noninvasive, and reproducible technique to new researchers interested in analyzing the three-dimensional properties of the resin duct systems in pine stem wood samples.
