X-ray CT enables non-destructive characterisation of composite materials by revealing their internal architecture in three dimensions, including fibre orientation, resin distribution, porosity, and damage development. By comparing specimens before and after mechanical testing, XCT can quantify crack formation, delamination, fibre rearrangement, and other failure mechanisms that govern material performance. These capabilities support materials development, quality assurance, and structural integrity assessments across applications ranging from aerospace and energy systems to automotive and civil engineering composites.

Mosquito head scanned at 1 µm voxel resolution using high-resolution micro-CT, revealing both external morphology and internal anatomical structures without dissection or staining. The scan enables detailed 3D visualisation and quantitative analysis of features such as sensory organs and brain regions. These data support comparative studies across individuals and species while preserving the specimen intact.

Soil cores scanned at 18 µm voxel resolution using micro-CT to visualise the three-dimensional distribution of soil amendments and pore networks. The scans enable quantitative measurement of porosity, amendment mixing, and structural heterogeneity that influence water retention and transport. These insights support the development and optimisation of soils with improved drought resilience and hydraulic performance.

X-ray CT provides a powerful non-destructive method for inspecting the internal structure of electronic components, from individual capacitors and connectors to complete assemblies and consumer devices. Differences in material density create striking contrast in X-ray images, allowing internal features such as conductors, solder joints, insulation layers, casings, and mechanical components to be visualised in exceptional detail. These datasets support quality control, defect detection, failure analysis, reverse engineering, and reliability studies without disassembly, preserving valuable or operational equipment intact.
