| The first neutron radiography image using Dingo |
Today, we recorded the first neutron radiography image, using the brand-new DINGO radiography/tomography/imaging station at the OPAL Research Reactor, of a traditional alarm clock.
Congratulations to Ulf Garbe who has project managed the construction of DINGO and is responsible for its commissioning and eventual operations.
Once fully operational, the DINGO instrument will be one of the highest intensity machines in the world, and will be fully capable of making movies of objects studied by researchers, from things like: running engines or motors, to the flow of fluids in fuel cells.
Other applications that will be supported by this instrument will include the ability to obtain different contrasts of cracks in steel, as well as non-invasive studies of very rare fossils or valuable artefacts.
More information on DINGO and the types of opportunities that will be available to instrument users and researchers can be found here.
