SUMMARY Computerized axial tomography with MoK a X‐radiation has been used to study a 0.8times0.8 mm column of human femoral bone at a resolution of 15 μm. This non‐destructive X‐ray microscopic technique allowed ‘sections' to be made with 25 μm separation and the distribution of linear absorption coefficient in each section to be determined.
