X-ray MicroCT Seminar and Workshop
Dr. David Bate, Metris
FAS Center for Nanoscale Systems
- Harvard University
- 11 Oxford St., LISE 303
- Cambridge, MA 02138
X-ray micro computed tomography (microCT) is a non-destructive technique that enables the user to scan a specimen at micrometer resolution and then recreate a 3-dimensional digital representation of it for sectioning and rendering. Although it was developed originally as a medical imaging technique, it is now used in many diverse fields, including material science and engineering, mechanical and aerospace engineering, geosciences, archaeology, anthropology, and biological and biomedical fields. This diversity stems from X-ray microCTs capability to efficiently and faithfully image "soft" as well as "hard" samples or a combination of them. In addition to imaging, X-ray microCT systems are also used as metrology tools.
Please join us on November 20th, Friday for a one-day workshop that showcases the capabilities of this versatile imaging modality. The afternoon demonstrations will be on our HMXST225 microCT system in LISE G27.
This is an open event so everyone is welcome, but registration is required! Please register at CNS website:
Speaker Bio: Dr. David Bate gained a bachelors degree in Physics from Oxford University, UK and a Ph.D. from Imperial College, London, UK in experimental quantum optics. Since then he has worked in the design, development and application of instrumentation to cutting edge problems in industry with a number of companies. This has included work on laser mass spectrometers, scanning electron microscopes as well as X-ray microCT systems. For the last 5 years he has worked in the area of X-ray microCT with Metris (previously X-Tek Systems) based in Tring, UK.
