From: Characterizing pearls structures using X-ray phase-contrast and neutron imaging: a pilot study

X-ray PC (a) and neutron (b) CT reconstructed images corresponding to the same slice of the cultured freshwater pearl CP-21. Several growth rings and small voids within the pearl are visible in both reconstructed images. Grey scale refers to refractive index decrement for PCI (a) and to linear attenuation coefficient (cm−1) for NI (b).
