Claim One:
1. A method comprising: rotating a rotatable surface with an object positioned thereon to a plurality of angular positions; capturing, via an x-ray microtomography device at each of the plurality of angular positions, a tomograph of a first portion of the object; summing each tomograph of the first portion of the object to create a three-dimensional image of the first portion of the object; rotating the rotatable surface with the object positioned thereon to the plurality of angular positions; capturing, via the x-ray microtomography device at each of the plurality of angular positions, a tomograph of a second portion of the object; summing each tomograph of the second portion of the object to create a three-dimensional image of the second portion of the object, wherein there is about 10% to about 20% of overlap between the three-dimensional image of the first portion of the object and the three-dimensional image of the second portion of the object; and aligning the three-dimensional image of the first portion of the object and the three-dimensional image of the second portion of the object, using the overlap, to create a final three-dimensional image of the object.
