Rezumat:

Four specimens of metamorphic and sedimentary rocks were investigated using 192-Iridium dual energy gamma-ray computer tomography. Using this methodology, tomographs, depicting density as well as effective atomic number distribution with a 0.3 mm resolution, were obtained. Various details were evidenced including the granular structure of augen gneiss, the well-developed foliation pattern of mica rich gneiss, the banded configuration of nummulitic limestone or the concentric disposition of calcite microcrystals in a speleothem. In addition, the corresponding image histograms rendered amn identification of both major and minor components of investigated rocks possible.
