CT-ALPHA choris
The "choris" in the name of this CT-ALPHA comes from the Greek and means "without". This means the system is designed without a cabinet and is supposed for bunker installation. ALPHA choris is designed for a very wide range of applications. It is the ideal solution for very large and very heavy test specimens. The ALPHA allows future conversions and retrofits of primary components and offers the greatest possible flexibility in its configuration.
Industrial X‑ray Computed Tomography (CT)- 3D volume CT
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) – 2D and 3D
- The most cost efficient system at high voltage
- The most flexible combination of components possible
- The size of samples is not limited by a cabinet

Highly Customisable
This most flexible system can be equipped with all of our different x-ray-sources. The following are possible, among others:
160 kV Nanotube with 0.15 µm max. spatial resolution and max. 16 W
240 kV µ-Focus with 0.5 µm max. spatial resolution and max. 50 W
320 kV µ-Focus with 3 µm max. spatial resolution and max. 500 W
450 kV Mesofocus with 60 µm Spot size and max. 450 W
600 kV minifocus with 0.7 mm spot size and max. 1500 W
A combination of different tubes is also possible.
The free configurable axis system gives the user all freedom to perform all kind of different scans. From the standard axial-CT, via fast Stacked-Scans, Tilted-Rotation-Axis or Laminography-CT, to the Multi-Helix-Scan with double Measurement-Field-Extension.
The CT-ALPHA choris system is ideal for non-destructive testing, materials investigations and, in particular, dimensional measurements of internal structures, undercuts and free-form surfaces.

Phase Contrast
Our newly developed phase contrast add-on brings cutting-edge X-ray imaging to your CT system with unmatched simplicity and flexibility.
Using a specially designed pinhole array, it generates multiple fine, parallel X-ray beams that pass through the specimen. In a single scan, it captures absorption, phase contrast, and dark-field scattering – revealing structural details invisible to conventional absorption-based X-ray imaging.
Fundamental Idea
Your benefits at a glance
Easy integration: Simply mount the add-on in front of the detector — no major system modifications required.
New contrast modes: Visualise structures and features that remain hidden with traditional X-ray contrast.
Flexible application: Suitable for a wide range of materials, from lightweight composites like CFRP to biological samples.
Fast data acquisition: Multi-beam technology dramatically reduces scan times.
Comprehensive analysis: Absorption, phase shift, and scattering — all in one scan.
No rotation required: Scattering is recorded in all directions simultaneously.
Whether for research, quality control, or development, this add-on expands your CT’s capabilities, enabling you to see more, understand more, and discover the invisible — all with a simple retrofit.
