Some diamonds are transparent, and optical microscopy can be used to locate and identify mineral inclusions in such diamonds. However, many diamonds are opaque, and the goal of these experiments was to see if x-ray microtomography could be used to locate mineral inclusions in such opaque diamonds.

In terms of X-ray windows another property of diamond is of crucial importance: diamond consists of carbon i.e. diamond is a low Z material which is transparent to X-rays. X-Ray absorption is related to density, diamond is about 3.5 times as dense as wate
