Bruker, Belgium, introduces the Skyscan 1273 benchtop 3D x-ray microscope based on micro-computed tomography technology, enabling samples with up to 500 mm length, 300 mm diameter, and a maximum weight of 20 kg to be investigated with powerful and precise positioning stages.
The combination of a higher-energy x-ray source running at higher power (130 kV, 39 W) and a large format six-megapixel flat-panel detector with ultimate sensitivity and speed provides excellent image quality in just a few seconds. It produces 3D images of internal structures with high resolution based on a voxel size smaller than 3 µm.
The comprehensive software for straightforward data collection, advanced image analysis, and powerful visualization makes the Skyscan 1273 an easy-to-use 3D x-ray microscope. Micro-CT with helical scanning for distortion-free data acquisition and artifact-free reconstruction algorithms provides images without blurring, even for planar structures in all directions.
For high-speed requirements, InstaRecon, one of the world’s fastest CT reconstruction solutions, accelerates 3D imaging by up to 100 times compared to traditional algorithms. It requires minimum lab space, is easy to use, and is virtually maintenance-free, with high system uptime and low cost of ownership.
