Tomoscopy is a technique for the continuous and time-resolved in-situ and in-operando investigation of dynamic processes in various fields of research (biology, energy, materials science, etc.) in three spatial dimensions. The high flux of modern synchrotron (or liquid metal lab) X-ray sources and achieved sensitivities of new detectors allow a fast image acquisition rate, which in combination with the rotation of the investigated sample and the manipulation of the environment (temperature, pressure, atmosphere, etc.) allows tomographic imaging throughout the process.
In this training, you will visualize how a time-resolved imaging experiment to investigate material scientific questions can be done. We will go through the processing of the collected data to reconstruct them and extract quantitative information, gaining understanding of the observed process.
