Here are some photos of a typical scan process, in photo steps:
Step 1: Load the sample in some low density mounting material – the sample is a concrete of undisclosed origin, and the project will not be discussed here
\
Step 2: load the sample into a rod or cylinder
Step 3: open the machine door
Step 4: load the mounted sample into the rotation stage of the machine
Step 5: Put in appropriate beam filter (that means a metal plate)
Step 6: Set up appropriate scan parameters (which might need some optimization per application)
Step 7: Start scanning
The next steps after scanning will be the focus of another day’s demo:
Step 8: Reconstruct the data
Step 9: Analyze the data – we use Volume Graphics
Step 10: Save the images, reports, raw data and copy to disk (we dont keep data here)
