Funded studentship - High resolution imaging in 3D by X-ray tomography

School of Materials

University of Manchester

We are just taking ownership of a world leading (£2M) suite of 4 X-ray imagers capable of producing 3D images of materials from the metre scale corresponding to aerospace composite panels and dinosaur bones right down to the 100 nanometer scale corresponding to biomaterial scaffolds and metal solidification. This project will develop the imaging techniques both traditional attenuation imaging and phase contrast imaging across the imaging suite.
