Abstract:

Awaiting Acceptance

X-ray synchrotron microtomography (SRXMT) was used to capture tomographic datasets which were subsequently used to create three-dimensional models. The three-dimensional models were then turned into raytraced images composited and rendered using the open source three-dimensional animation package Blender™.
