Synchrotron-radiation phase-contrast microtomography (Italy, Elettra Trieste)

tomography area

  Homogeneous glass
  (healthy)


  Glass with porous structure
  (silica gel layer)


  Viacryl coating
 

The Viacryl takes the shape of the glass surface, whether it is altered or not. The thickness of the film varies.
When it is well preserved, the adhesion is conserved.
