In this study X-ray microtomography was evaluated as a tool for meso-scale structure recognition of glass knitted reinforcement in epoxy-matrix laminates. Geometrical parameters of textile plies (yarn middle line, shapes and areas of cross-sections) are determined. The obtained data can be used in finite elements model.
