Data Gallery

The Diamond-Manchester Imaging Branchline is used for a broad range of scientific applications. These include biology, materials science, geology, medicine, archaeology, paleontology and engineering - as well as development of X-ray imaging and tomographic techniques. Some examples are shown below.

  • Micro-imaging
  • Nano-imaging

Biology: A polarisation analyser discovered in the eyes of orchid bees
See http://www.paneuropeannetworkspublications.com/ST19/#48 for details.

Materials science: Using tomography to help develop better concrete
Hydrated cement with 10% calcium hydroxide, studied to provide insight into dependence of mechanical properties on particle morphologies (slices through X-ray microtomogram).
