Short summary

We present an operating procedure that is advantageous for the high-throughput analysis of specimens, yielding consistency between scan data, and a method of sample preparation that does not include glue, gel, or solvents, all of which cause artefacts within the radiographs. We demonstrate how to balance beam power, exposure time, and detector settings with obtainable resolution to ensure the analytical protocols deliver optimal data and scan speed.
