Looking deep into nature: A review of micro-computed tomography in biomimicry

Albert Einstein once said “look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better”. Looking deep into nature has in the last few years become much more achievable through the use of high-resolution X-ray micro-computed tomography (microCT). The non-destructive nature of microCT, combined with three-dimensional visualization and analysis, allows for the most complete internal and external “view” of natural materials and structures...
