Micro-computed tomography: look inside (anything)

Synchrotron tomography offers ultra-high-resolution, non-destructive 3D imaging of internal structures in materials, components, and devices. By harnessing the brightness and coherence of synchrotron X-rays, it enables researchers and industry to visualise features at the micro- and nanoscale—revealing cracks, voids, interfaces, and microstructural details that are otherwise inaccessible. This insight is key to driving innovation across sectors such as energy storage, aerospace, additive manufacturing, and biomedical engineering. From optimising battery architectures to understanding material failure, synchrotron tomography supports faster, more informed design decisions and product development.
