A cross section through Scypha (Grantia?), a syconoid sponge (phylum Porifera, class Calcarea; possibly also called Sycon). The central space is called the atrium (or spongocoel), epitheloid cells (pinacocytes) line the outside, dark-purple flagellated choanocytes line the canals that face into the atrium, and the layer between those cells is

Summary description of this technique: Cross-section Microscopy (CSM) is a technique which allows for the examination of a sample from a layered structure, such as a painted surface, at the microscopic level.

The macroscopic cross-section represents the effective target area of all of the nuclei contained in the volume of the material (such as fuel pellet). The units are given in cm-1. It is the probability of neutron-nucleus interaction per centimeter of neutron travel. Codes commonly use these data for reactor core analyses and design.

The microscopic cross-section “σ” is used to characterize the probability of reaction between a neutron and an individual particle or nucleus. A neutron can have many types of interactions
