SUMMARY
A microscope system based on the principles of computerized axial tomography is described for determining the distribution of the X‐ray absorption coefficient in a slice from a solid object without cutting sections. An application is given to determining the distribution at a resolution of about 15 μm through a shell of about 0·5 mm diameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
