Abstract
Recent advances in X-ray tomography using synchrotron radiation enable three-dimensional microscopic images to be obtained nondestructively from relatively large samples. With both increased sample size and imp roved spatial resolution, it is now possible to quantify experimentall y-induced microstructural and microchemical changes in materials as th ey occur in situ, in vitr, and even in vivo. With the X-ray tomographi c microscope, we have begun to improve our understanding of the proces sing of ceramic matrix composites, bone loss in osteoporosis, and the development of caries lesions in teeth.
