This is the micro ct-lab. The system uses X-rays to build up a three dimensional image of solid objects revealing their internal structure - rather like the CT scanners used in hospitals but with very much higher resolution. The system is used to study the pore structure in materials through which fluid flow is of interest such as oil bearing rocks and printing paper. Micro-CT enhanced modelling of fluid flow is just one of many areas studied in the School's Department of Applied Maths. You can find out more about Applied Maths at the ANU, here
