Keywords:cryo-micro X-ray CT

A cryo-micro X-ray CT system was newly constructed at the beamline BL07 of the Kyushu Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (SAGA Light Source) to observe frozen food and ice in three dimensions with high spatial resolution and non-destructive operation at temperatures below -80 degrees Celsius. As a result of observation of boiled somen noodles flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, detailed internal structure could be visualized in 30 minutes of measurement time.
