“…We used a target volume concentration of 10%, which we controlled in image segmentation afterwards. Subsequent to drawing of the molten wax particle suspension into a polymer tube, the volume was shock-frozen within the small polymeric tube, resulting in a sample cylinder of approximately 1.6 mm diameter after forming (Ditscherlein et al, 2020). Figure 2a shows the sample preparation procedure beginning with a cylindrical shape (2 mm diameter, a-1) for low-resolution scans, that is manually sliced down (a-3 and a-4) to a bar for medium- and high-resolution scans (≈0.5 mm diameter, a-5).…”

“…The starting point for the measurement is to use a welldispersed particle sample that has to be embedded into a low X-ray attenuating matrix to avoid undesirable motion during the exposure process in the tomography system. Here, the main focus is on a statistically representative sample with sufficiently large space between individual particles to support the image segmentation workflow (Ditscherlein et al, 2020b(Ditscherlein et al, , 2020c.…”

In the present paper, as part of an interdisciplinary research project (Priority Programme SPP2045), we propose a possible way to design an open access archive for particle-discrete tomographic datasets: the PARROT database (https://parrot.tu-freiberg.de). This archive is the result of a pilot study in the field of particle technology and three use cases are presented for illustrative purposes. Instead of providing a detailed instruction manual, we focus on the methodologies of such an archive. The presented use cases stem from our working group and are intended to demonstrate the advantage of using such an archive with concise and consistent data for potential and ongoing studies. Data and metadata merely serve as examples and need to be adapted for disciplines not concerned here. Since all datasets within the PARROT database and its source code are freely accessible, this study represents a starting point for similar projects.
