Today, we made the first neutron tomographic reconstruction (the neutron equivalent of a hospital CT-scan), using the brand-new DINGO radiography/tomography/imaging station, of the same traditional alarm clock that we featured in a shadow radiograph on 15 August.
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 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.
