Abstract
We present F3CT, a synchrotron-based hyperspectral full-field fluorescence computed tomography technique that avoids raster scanning by combining a pinhole aperture with an energy-resolving 2D detector. A virtual cone-beam model and two-stage calibration-reconstruction workflow enable 3D elemental mapping under full-field illumination. The method is demonstrated on biological and geological specimens, resolving silver-stain distributions in zebrafish tissue and high-energy fluorescence signatures in rock cores. Phase-contrast tomograms acquired sequentially under the same experimental geometry provide co-registered structural context. F3CT provides a high-throughput route to 3D XRF imaging and establishes a foundation for correlated structural and chemical tomography, with potential for future in-situ and operando implementations.
