Nano X-ray Tomography Application for Quantitative Surface Layer Geometry Analysis after Laser Beam Modification.

Analysis of the geometrical structure of the surface of materials is an issue already widely recognised and included in international standards. The authors present the possibilities of extending the analysis of the coatings' geometrical structure through X-ray nanotomography imaging, three-dimensional image processing, and stereological methods. Analysis of the state of the art reveals that there are no scientific rapports (indexed by Scopus) on the application X-ray nanotomography for analysis of the geometry of a coating.
