High Power Microfocus X-ray Facility

We designed and developed a custom versatile high-power micro-tomograph that can provide high penetrability while achieving resolutions down to 3 µm. That value is the minimum size of individual features that can be visualized / analyzed within the internal structure of objects. The high energy X ray generator allows for a wide range of samples types, densities and sizes to be analyzed. We use different X ray detector types that we have available for various custom experimental setups. This type of versatility cannot be obtained with regular commercial X-ray systems. The software for control and data acquisition is developed in-house. We have developed different scanning protocols for samples that can be as small as tens of micrometers or longer than one meter.
