Neutron imaging at PSI: a promising tool in materials science and technology
Source abstract
Abstract
Neutron imaging as a method for non-destructive studies takes advantage of the alternative contrast mechanism of neutrons compared to X-rays: most of the light elements feature high contrast, whereas heavy elements are relatively transparent to neutrons. In the previous decade, the neutron imaging technique has made substantial progress in well-tailored and well-equipped beam lines, in improvements of the image recording quality and efficiency by new and modern imaging techniques, and in modern image processing tools.
