Dynamic X-ray CT of Synthetic magma for Digital Volume Correlation analysis

Dataset of synthetic magma subjected to compression, useful for Digital Volume Correlation analysis, ref [1,2]. The data has been acquired at the Diamond Light Source synchrotron, with a bespoke thermo-mechanical rig (“P2R”) on the I12 beamline, ref [3,4,5]. Dataset 0 has no applied compression, while dataset 1 has applied compression. The data was saved with numpy 1.21 with NumPy format version 1.0 as dataset_0.npy and dataset_1.npy, and NumPy can be used to read it back in. Both data files have a header specifying how the data is stored, and following the header comes the array data. In particular the header length is 128 bytes, and the data consists of a 3 dimensional matrix of size (1520, 1257, 1260) stored in unsigned integer 8 bit, Fortran order. The screenshot named import_imagej.png shows how to import the data in with ImageJ. A METAImage header describing the data in text form for each dataset is also provided, i.e. dataset_0.mhd and dataset_1.mhd,
