We review results obtained with the Exxon Microtomography apparatus. The technique is based on tomographic methods widely used in medicine and nondestructive evaluation. When used with a tunable x-ray source, it is a powerful diagnostic and research tool for a wide variety of materials problems. It is capable of producing maps of the interior structure and chemical composition of samples approximately 0.5--1.0 mm in size, with spatial resolution in the map of the density variations approaching 10.0 /mu/m.
