Description
Neutron imaging using thermal neutrons is well suited for the investigation of, for example, damaged concrete, lithium batteries, fuel elements for fusion reactors, munition, cultural heritage objects, and fossils. A particularly powerful application of neutron beams lies in biological research, such as monitoring water transport in plants or performing in‑vivo observations of bee larva development.
Recently, neutron imaging and tomography techniques have become available in the Laboratory of Neutron Physics at the light‑water reactor LVR‑15 in Řež near Prague. In this contribution, we briefly introduce the basic instrumentation and present the first results.
