New computer-tomography method visualizes nano-structure of bones

Wednesday, September 22, 2010 - 14:56 in Physics & Chemistry

A novel nano-tomography method developed by a team of researchers from the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, the Paul Scherrer Institute and the ETH-Zurich opens the door to computed tomography examinations of minute structures at nanometer resolutions. Three-dimensional detailed imaging of fragile bone structures becomes possible. Their first nano-CT images will be published in Nature tomorrow. This new technique will facilitate advances in both life sciences and materials sciences.
