Micro-CT is a 3D imaging technique utilizing X-rays to see inside an object, slice by slice. Micro-CT, also called microtomography or micro computed tomography, is similar to hospital CT or “CAT” scan imaging but on a small scale with greatly increased resolution. Samples can be imaged with pixel sizes as small as ~4 micron and objects can be scanned up to ~50 cm in diameter.
The versatile XT H 225 scanner can be used to cover a wide range of applications, including the inspection of plastic parts, electronics and complex mechanisms as well as researching materials and natural specimens.
The scanner can be fit with a rotating anode, reflection, or transmission target. The rotating anode produces the most X-rays, which is good for highly absorbing material, but has the lowest resolution. The transmission target has the best resolution, but produces the least amount of X-rays. The reflection target is typically installed and has a balance between X-ray intensity and resolution. If your needs require the rotating or transmission target, please inquire in advance about scheduling.
