Overview

Mimetica is a software package for analysing microCT scans. It can load a stack of scans and compute the radial and phase profiles of the material fraction of each layer. The results can also be exported to CSV for further analysis. Mimetica was written in Python using PySide6 as the GUI framework.

Installation

Create a new Python environment and run

pip install mimetica

After that, you can launch the program from the terminal:

You can see the available CLI options with the --help argument:
