Abstract
A new microtomographic system has been assembled with a geometrical re solution of about 25-50 mm. This system is employed directly using the bremsstrahlung radiation and filtering the primary radiation with abs orbers composed by an element. A reconstruction programme, written in PASCAL is able to give the reconstruction matrix of linear attenuation coefficients, simulates the matrix and the related tomography. Microt omography was studied thoroughly with different samples like acrylic c ylinders containing internal W-wires of about 10 mu m diameter, acryli c cylinders with holes of known diameters, small pencils with internal graphite, acrylic cylinders containing grains of soil and so on.
