This chapter discusses the principles of synchrotron X-ray tomography. The technique exploits the different linear attenuation coefficients of the chemical elements present in a sample or, alternatively, the density differences for a given element. Thus, the image-forming signal is absorption contrast.
Keywords: synchrotron X-ray tomography, image artefacts, 3D analysis, absorption contrast
