From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laser Ablation Tomography (LAT™) is a tomography technology that combines laser ablation and fluorescence microscopy to produce cross sectional images and three-dimensional models . The method is used in numerous scientific fields, namely biology, geology, and materials science.

LAT™ scans produce cross-sectional images of samples that can be manipulated to generate 3D renderings, which can be processed to determine structural parameters of interest.
