Preface
The first successful experiments in Neutron Radiography were carried out (to our knowledge) in 1935, just a few years after the discovery of the neutron, by H. Kallmann and E. Kuhn using a small neutron generator [1]. Not surprisingly, the field has developed and diversified over the last 70 years so that neutron imaging, in the broad sense, is now routinely used in a wide range of applications. The aim of this book (one of a series on the applications of neutron scattering [2]) is to introduce to the reader, whether novice or experienced researcher, the basic techniques used to image objects using neutron beams and to give a flavor of the vast range of applic
