✦ Synopsis

The ÿeld of mesoscale physics is concerned with length scales which lie in the sub-micron to millimetre range. As a subject, it covers complexity, disorder, cooperative e ects and structure-property relationships. Much of modern material science can be found in this regime and it remains a rich ground for new research. As many of the phenomena ascribed to this regime span several orders in length scale and are inherently three-dimensional in nature, X-ray-computed tomography is a valuable tool in this ÿeld. A fully integrated facility dedicated to the study of mesoscopic phenomena is brie y described.
