Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.5K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.4K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Area of Science:

  • Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Geophysics

Background:

  • Micro X-Ray Computed Tomography (μXRCT) is a powerful tool for characterizing porous media.
  • Integrating mechanical and hydro-mechanical testing with μXRCT is crucial for understanding material behavior under load.
  • Existing μXRCT systems often lack the capability for simultaneous in situ mechanical testing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a versatile test rig for combining mechanical and hydro-mechanical experiments with μXRCT.
  • To enable in situ characterization of porous media across a broad range of resolutions and load capacities.
  • To provide a modular and adaptable system using standard components for broader research accessibility.

Main Methods:

  • An existing open and modular μXRCT system was extended with a test rig.
  • A uniaxial 10 kN universal testing machine with a digital control system was employed.
  • The system was enhanced with two aligned rotational stages for combined loading (±3.1 kN uniaxial, ±15 N m torque).
  • X-ray transparent cells (flow, oedometer, triaxial) were designed for integrating various stress/strain states.

Main Results:

  • The developed test rig successfully combines mechanical and hydro-mechanical testing with μXRCT.
  • The system demonstrates a broad load capacity range (±3.1 kN uniaxial, ±15 N m torque).
  • Three application examples showcase the versatile use of the system with different x-ray transparent cells.

Conclusions:

  • The integrated μXRCT and mechanical testing system offers a versatile platform for porous media research.
  • The use of standard components makes the setup adaptable and potentially interesting for other researchers.
  • The system facilitates in situ characterization of three-dimensional stress/strain states in porous materials.
