Abstract
Imagine a technique that requires minimal or no sample preparation and allows you to explore the internal structure of your sample down to the micrometre scale without the need for a single cut. This can be achieved using X-ray microscopy (XRM), which, as for medical CAT scanners, uses the penetrative power of X-rays to “non-destructively” image through materials. The data generated by an XRM is converted to a digital format that can be investigated in almost limitless ways. The technique is highly flexible, with wide ranging applications in biological, geological and materials science. The Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis (CMCA) at UWA has two X-ray imaging systems and this seminar will cover the basics of the XRM technique, its applicability to the study of a broad range of samples, and a number of gratuitously pretty videos of objects imaged by XRM.
