Our expertise
Navigating the world of X-ray Computed Tomography can feel like trying to see inside a locked box. At Tomosphere, we don’t just have the key—we’ll provide you with all the expertise you need
We provide advice on the entire workflow from initial concept to final, actionable data.
The old saying “garbage in, garbage out” is brutally true for tomography. A poor scan can’t be “fixed” later.
We ensure you get the best possible data the first time. We’ll advise you on designing and optimising your acquisition strategy, including:
- Parameter optimisation: Balancing scan time, resolution, and signal-to-noise.
- Sample preparation and mounting for artefact-free scans.
- Advanced techniques: Setting up in situ experiments, 4D (time-resolved) scanning, and handling challenging or low-contrast materials.
This is where your 2D X-ray projections become a 3D digital reality. It’s far more than just “pressing a button.”
We will explain the complex reconstruction process to you, transforming your raw data into a clean, high-fidelity 3D volume. This includes:
- Applying the correct reconstruction algorithms (e.g., FBP, iterative).
- Performing critical corrections for artefacts like beam hardening, ring artefacts, and sample drift.
- Delivering a precise and accurate 3D volume, ready for analysis.
You have a beautiful 3D volume. Now what? This is where data becomes an answer.
This final, critical step is our speciality. We help you extract the meaning from the voxels.
- Advanced Segmentation: Using everything from simple thresholding to complex AI and deep learning models to digitally isolate and measure your features of interest.
- Quantification: Turning that 3D model into actionable numbers (e.g., porosity, fibre orientation, particle size distribution, defect analysis).
- Interpretation: Helping you understand what the data means and how it answers your core research or engineering questions.
