Abstract

V7 has widely been recognized as a versatile and flexible instrument for innovative neutron imaging and has made decisive contributions to the development of new methods by exploiting different contrast mechanisms for imaging. The reason for the success in method development is the flexibility of the facility which permits very fast change of the instrument’s configuration and allows for performing non-standard experiments. The ability for complementary experiments with the laboratory X-ray tomographic scanner (MicroCT Lab) offers the opportunity to study samples at different contrast levels and spatial resolution scales.
