Another application areas of microtomography are biology and agriculture. Fig.4a shows an X-ray transmission image through the tulip bulb in wet conditions. Damaged area can be found in the surface of this bulb. Fig.4b shows the reconstructed cross section with information about depth of damaged volume. 

The electronic nose and electronic tongue will be described as systems able to give olfactory and chemical images, respectively, in a variety of applications fields, including medicine, environment, food and agriculture.

The second section of the book details application of instrumentation and numerical analysis to spectroscopic analyses in a number of fields. The applications cover fields such as materials science (Chapters 5-8), biomedical science (Chapters 9-11) and agricultural and food sciences (Chapters 12 and 13). Chapter 5 details the application of mid-IR FUR spectroscopic imaging to multicomponent polymeric systems, salient features of data analysis for these systems, and a number of examples. Chapter 6 describes the utility of multichannel detectors to catalyst development and provides examples to demonstrate the translation of laboratory concepts to viable industrial catalysis. Chapter 7 provides an overview, and examples, of the application of near-IR imaging systems to the real world in real time . Issues in the industrial design and analysis of several commercial products are detailed in Chapter 8. 

The noninvasive nature of NMR spectroscopy combined with the chemical specificity of the NMR method provides direct access to the distribution of various chemical constituents for the histochemistry of plant materials in situ NMR spectroscopy can be used to identify the major constituents, and chemical-.shift imaging can be used to spatially localize them. The latter can be applied to localize aromatics, carbohydrates, as well as water and fat or oil in plant samples. The suitability of many fresh fruits and living plants to be studied by NMR imaging results in a variety of applications in agriculture and food science [Mcc I, Mcc2].
