Taking and analyzing images of materials' microstructures is essential for quality control,
choice and design of all kind of products. Today, the standard method still is to analyze 2D …

Osteocytes, the most numerous bone cells, are thought to be actively involved in the bone
modeling and remodeling processes. The morphology of osteocyte is hypothesized to adapt …

The macroscopic properties of materials are strongly determined by their micro structure.
Here, transport properties of gas diffusion layers (GDL) for fuel cells are considered. In order …

Nano-porous materials can be imaged spatially by focused ion beam scanning electron
microscopy (FIB-SEM). This method generates a stack of SEM images that has to be …

The intrinsic volumes–in 3d up to constants volume, surface area, integral of mean
curvature, and Euler number–are a very useful set of geometric characteristics. Combining …

Nowadays, it is common to analyze crystallization processes and crystalline products using
two-dimensional image analysis. Various techniques exist but they are not fundamentally …

Mathematical Imaging is currently a rapidly growing field in applied mathematics, with an
increasing need for theoretical mathematics. This book, the second of two volumes …

Tomographic techniques are a valuable analytical tool as they deliver 3D spatial information
on a given specimen. Both computed tomography with high spatial resolution and …

The macroscopic properties of materials are strongly influenced by their microstructure.
Essential micro-structural information can be obtained from high-resolution 3D images …

Open cell foams are a class of modern materials which is interesting for a wide variety of
applications and which is not accessible to classical materialography based on 2d images …
