Developments and Applications of Synchrotron Radiation Computed Laminography with Micrometer and Nanometer resolution

The aim of this thesis is to enable and to improve computed laminography using synchrotron radiation. This has consisted of optimizing imaging setups, techniques and data treatment methods. Extending the techniques towards better resolution and new contrast modes has been the main driving factor. We have exploited a wide variety of imaging applications, ranging from biology and medical studies to in situ and ex situ studies of materials and microelectronic devices.
