Hello, I tried to scan the carbon fiber samples a couple of times using Nano-CT, but it could not display any model with distinguishable fibers in it. I was using Rigaku Nano3dx. Is there anybody who has successfully scanned the carbon fiber samples with Nano-CT?
Dear Kaiyue Deng , the Rigaku Nano3dx's resolution, according to its specifications table, is 325 nm.

So, if your carbon fibers have a larger diameter than 325 nm, you should be able to see them, even if they are embedded in some organic or low density resin.
You can watch some cool 3D reconstructions of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP´s) at their website, just scroll down and you can find them easily.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your research work and my best wishes.
