Explore the capabilities of MicroCT imaging - what it is, what it excels at, opening hours, and who to contact to get started.
What is a MicroCT?
- X-ray computed tomography of small sample volumes at high pixel resolutions
- Results in a 3D dataset of X-ray attenuation throughout the sample, which allows 3D visualization and analysis
- A non-destructive imaging mode so you get your sample back.
MicroCT is also an X-ray microscope
Quickly get 2D projection images of structure and density differences in your sample.
What MicroCT excels at
- Revealing, in 3D, internal details within your whole sample
- Lets you see an internal problem in your sample
- Minimal preparation – mostly. Staining for some samples
- Provides cross-sections at the orientation you want
- Multiple 2D and 3D analyses to characterise your sample
- Dry or wet samples
- Produces stunning images for your report or thesis!
