Microtomography Microdosimetry

ABOUTIn 2007, at the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow, at the Department of Applied Spectroscopy, the construction of an X-ray microbeam system began. Two facilities were constructed: computed microtomography and microdosimetry. Two doctoral dissertations were carried out as part of the project. On this page you can find our publications, posters and presentations presented at conferences. Presentations of other speakers from COST group meetings Krakow and Paris are also available here.

Microtomography
X-ray computed microtomography (µCT) is a non-destructive method widely used in various disciplines. It illustrates the internal structure of the tested objects, determined by the distribution of density and atomic composition.

 The X-ray computed microtomography method is easy to use, while ensuring high spatial resolution (about 10 µm). Visit µCT image gallery 
    
Microdosimetry
To irradiate microscopic objects, the radiation from the source is refocused on the sample with a focusing system.

        The beam diameter of the focused beam is about 20 µm, and the minimum repeatable step of the sample positioners is less than 1 µm. The beam shutter sets the precise exposure time from 120 ms. Learn more..
