Non-destructive 3D X-ray imaging system delivering sub-micron resolution for internal structure visualization of materials, components, and biological samples.
The TESCAN Micro-CT delivers high-resolution 3D X-ray imaging for non-destructive characterization of internal structures. With sub-micron voxel resolution and a wide range of sample sizes, it is the ideal solution for materials research, industrial inspection, geology, and life sciences.
The TESCAN Micro-CT is a laboratory-scale X-ray computed tomography system designed for high-resolution, non-destructive 3D imaging of samples across a wide range of sizes — from a few millimeters to over 150 mm in diameter. Using an advanced nano-focus X-ray source and a high-sensitivity flat panel detector, the system acquires thousands of 2D projection images from multiple angles.
These projections are then reconstructed into a fully 3D volumetric dataset using state-of-the-art algorithms including filtered back-projection (FDK) and iterative reconstruction techniques. The resulting 3D volume can be virtually sliced in any direction and quantitatively analyzed.
The system is fully modular, supporting optional in-situ mechanical, thermal, and environmental stages for 4D time-resolved CT experiments.
