Kitchen-based light tomography - a DIY toolkit for advancing tomography - by and for the tomography community

Larsson, Emanuel LU ; Gürsoy, Doǧa and Hall, Stephen LU (2023) In Tomography of Materials and Structures 1(1). p.1-11
Abstract
We present a recipe for building a portable DIY toolkit, entitled Kitchen-Based Light Tomography (KBLT) for performing tomography using visible light with low-cost and easily accessible components. We also present different use cases to mimic different challenges in tomography, such as imaging time evolving samples. All the software for motor controls, image acquisition, image reconstruction and analysis is open-sourced and available online. The fast acquisition of KBLT datasets permits 4D scanning (3D plus time), also in combination with so-called sample environments, which can support the advancement of improved image reconstruction algorithms. We believe this ‘Do it yourself’ (DIY) toolkit will be useful to tomography users, beamline... (More)
