Neutron microscopes use neutrons focused by small-angle neutron scattering to create images by passing neutrons through an object to be investigated. The neutrons that aren't absorbed by the object hit scintillation targets where induced nuclear fission of lithium-6 can be detected and be used to produce an image.
