An electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) system for determining, in use, a distribution of a fluid in a vessel is described which comprises a plurality of electrodes disposed in or about the vessel; and a processor operably coupled to the electrodes and being configured to determine from outputs therefrom, by an ECT method, the distribution of fluid in the vessel wherein at least some of the plurality of electrodes are mesh electrodes. Aspects of the invention provide such an apparatus and methods of carrying out tomography including such electrodes and methods of constructing a system. The electrodes are more robust and lighter than electrodes previously used enabling the use in space applications.
