Achieving fast high-resolution 3D imaging by combining synchrotron x-ray microCT, advanced algorithms, and high performance data management
Synchrotrons like the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) are an extremely bright source of X-rays. In recent years, this brightness has been coupled to large increases in detector speeds (including CMOS and sCMOS detectors) to enable microCT 3D imaging at unprecedented speeds and resolutions. The micro-CT Beamline at the ALS has been used by geologi
