The 3D imaging center at the Technical University of Denmark is a competence center for X-ray and neutron imaging. It is home to a national facility, DANFIX: a 900 m2 laboratory with room for 10 CT scanners. The facility is used for research and education within a broad range of natural, technical and health disciplines. Our development of phase contrast imaging at its applications to life science relies mainly on two liquid metal-jet based systems. One commercial uCT scanner and one self built nano-scale scanner. This is a zone plate based microscope operating in Zernike phase contrast mode with a single photon counting detector being the important component in the endeavor to build an exceptionally dose efficient scanner. In my talk I will introduce our approach to lab based phase contrast tomography. I will also cover two specific scientific cases. The first being in vivo imaging of plant leaves, the second is 3D histology of human tissue with potential clinical diagnostic value.
