CT-NANO
Explore new possibilities for visualization with 3D X-ray imaging for materials research, life sciences, natural resources and industrial applications.
X‑ray Computed Tomography (nanoCT)- Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)
- Digital Radiography (DR)
- Energy-Dispersive X‑ray spectroscopy (EDX)
- 3D volume CT
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) – 2D and 3D
- Quality control independent of material
- Defect recognition (voids, cracks, …)
- Radiation safety better than 1 µSv/h
High-Resolution Electron Microscopy
CT-NANO has the best resolution available on the market at this energy level, which allows the inspection of materials or structures which were not possible before.
The CT-NANO is a fully operating scanning electron microscope with capabilities of Nano-CT measurements on specimens like light-metal-alloys and fiber composites.
It delivers Voxel-sizes in ranges from 30 nm to 10 μm, a geometrical magnification up to 50nm (FWHM) and a maximum photon energy of 30 keV. An EDS-Detector provides an additional correlation between XRF signal of specimen and reconstructed volume of the CT-NANO.
With a direct-converting detector and a size-optimized field-of-view, the CT-NANO provides a representative test volume. The CT-NANO X-ray microscope is based on a scanning electron microscope and uses the electron-beam for generating the x-ray at an ultra-sharp needle with a focal spot size of 70 nm.
