A New Dimension To Micro-CT
SPECTRAL CT provides contrast where conventional micro-CT cannot, and reveals information on a sample’s composition by looking at the entire X-ray spectrum used to image a sample.
SPECTRAL CT reveals this chemical information at any point inside a sample in a non-destructive manner, and combines it with high quality,structural information on the same sample.
For the first time in a commercial micro-CT system, we can acquire chemical data, such as identification of precious metals for mining and recycling, differentiate between different polymers in engineered samples, or optimize contrast in biological samples.
TESCAN UniTOM XL SPECTRAL
Obtain chemical information from any point inside a sample, complementing state-of-the-art structural imaging capabilities.
TESCAN SPECTRAL CT provides true spectral imaging, capturing the full X-ray spectrum before and after interacting with your samples. Spectral information can be used to complement micro-structural imaging with chemical and compositional data and provides contrast where traditional attenuation micro-CT imaging hits its limits.
SPECTRAL Information On Top Of The Amazing Image Quality Of The TESCAN UniTOM XL
TESCAN SPECTRAL CT is an add-on to the TESCAN UniTOM XL, TESCAN’s large-volume, versatile, multi-scale micro-CT system. Adding SPECTRAL CT does not impose any compromises on conventional CT imaging, and all standard functions of the TESCAN UniTOM XL remain available.
Click the buttons below to learn more about the TESCAN UniTOM XL or TESCAN’s other micro-CT solutions.
- Using k-edge detection, precious metals and elements can be identified without any knowledge on the sample.
- When conventional CT cannot differentiate between materials, SPECTRAL CT performs multi-energy analysis in a single scan.
- Compare spectra with a reference database or each other, to gain info on composition, concentration and density.
