Yearly FinTomo Seminar present current research, advances, and studies in the field of X-ray tomography in Finland, including imaging, reconstruction, and analysis in theory and practice. For example, students show their research topic, manufacturers demonstrate their instrument or software, and senior researchers present their projects. In addition, the event will bring good networking opportunities available.

Wednesday 9.4.2025 an afternoon side event. More information and registration: Blue Scientific CT workshop.

Thursday 10.4.2025 16.30-18.30 Nikon CT application demo at UEF lab room Sn208-Sn2121 in the same floor as the FinTomo Seminar 2025. Thomas Dreisbusch (Nikon) and Tuomo Silvast (UEF) will be available next to the Nikon XTH 225 kV system to run scans and further discuss your CT applications and questions. We’ll invite you to bring your own sample so we can focus on what’s relevant for your application(s).
