Cover: A strategy to reliably reconstruct 3D images of porous polyolefin particles using X‐ray microtomography is presented. Polyolefins exhibit low absorptivity for X‐rays, hence they represent challenging samples for mCT imaging. Exploration of the influence of scanning/reconstruction settings on the resulting polymer morphology and transport characteristics allows the generation of these cross‐sectional images of polyethylene and polystyrene particles, shown with different smoothing parameters. Further details can be found in the article by L. Meisterová, A. Zubov, K. Smolná, F. Štěpánek, and J. Kosek* on page 277 .
