Abstract

Digital imaging using high-resolution X-ray micro-computed tomography has become a methodology with increasing importance for assessing wood tissues. This chapter aims to describe the use of this nondestructive, noninvasive, and reproducible technique to new researchers interested in analyzing the three-dimensional properties of the resin duct systems in pine stem wood samples.

Keywords: 3D image analysis; Computed tomography; Quantitative wood anatomy; Resin ducts; Software; X-ray CT.
