Multi-resolution micro-CT system optimized for geoscience applications
The TESCAN CoreTOM combines in a single instrument the typical field of view of a medical CT system with the high-resolution imaging performance capabilities of laboratory micro-CT systems. It can image full cores up to 1 meter (~3 ft) in length, down to mm-size micro-plugs or drill cuttings at 3 micrometer spatial resolution. This makes the TESCAN CoreTOM the ideal system for multiscale imaging from core to pore.
Equipped with a high-powered microfocus X-ray source, the TESCAN CoreTOM enables high sample throughput and fast dynamic imaging with temporal resolutions below 10 seconds for a full 3D acquisition.
Key benefits of TESCAN CoreTOM
Multi-scale imaging
The TESCAN CoreTOM is specially designed to handle a wide range of geological samples from full size cores up to 1 meter in length down to plugs, drill cuttings and miniplugs. The TESCAN CoreTOM lets you quickly obtain 3D overview scans of layers, heterogeneities and other large-scale features inside full cores, and to obtain highresolution scans to visualize the pore space in plugs and cuttings.
Fast scanning & high sample throughput
An optimized combination of a high-power source, efficient detector and software protocols combine in harmony to provide you with a system tuned to maximize throughput and contrast, reaching temporal resolutions below 10 seconds.
Volume of Interest Scanning (VOIS)
Intuitively zoom in on selected areas inside a core or plug to obtain higher resolution details. Interior volumes-of-interest can be selected in 3D reconstructed volumes or on 2D projections.
Dynamic in situ imaging
The TESCAN CoreTOM is ideally suited for many demanding in situ applications and provides an industry-leading level of device connectivity, interfaces and software protocols to maximize your in situ research.
