Course Dates & Time:

- Monday, November 2 (9:00 - 12:00 PST / 18:00 - 21:00 CET)

- Friday, November 6 (9:00 - 12:00 PST / 18:00 - 21:00 CET)

What Will You Learn?

• There are many different ways to image porous media across different scales, ranging from the nanoscale to the cm-scale. Imaging techniques will include lab-based X-ray, synchrotron imaging, microscopy (light and laser), SEM, AFM, and nano-tomography. 
• Discuss which technique is best, depending on application.
• Teach students how to perform image analysis AND understand the limitations that exist when there is no ground truth data.
