Extract

Recent advances with the cone-beam approach to tomography at the Advanced Microscopy and Imaging Laboratory (AMIL) have opened the possibility of employing tomography with the Shadow Projection X-Ray Microscope routinely when the specimen properties require it. The AMIL approach has been tested on small objects, without magnification, using conventional dental x-ray sources and a modestly diverging beam angle. The shadow projection Microscope, by contrast has a tenfold greater divergence and magnifies the specimen from unity to three or more orders of magnitude in resolution beyond the previous tests. The reader is reminded of the simplicity of the xray projection method and of the clarity of its images in fig. 1 and 2. The microscope can be operated in any laboratory and readily transported to alternate locations. Now that the AMIL data base and algorithms for tomography can be handled by a Pentium II processor the data gathering and reconstructions can also be managed at any laboratory installation.
