Pulsed neutron imaging can give information on crystal texture, crystallite size and strain by analyzing the Bragg edge structure of neutron transmission spectrum, and also on the bound state difference of incoherent scatterers such as hydrogen by analyzing gradient or structure of the transmission spectra. Furthermore, it has capability to identify materials and to measure temperature of an object by analyzing the resonance transmission. Here, we describe the principle of this method and some applications.
