Based on our conventional portable X-ray equipment, this device allows the acquisition of cross-sectional images of specimens up to 400 mm in diameter under field conditions anywhere in the world and permits highly variable configurations.

Standard isotropic voxel size (≅spatial resolution): 300 μm.

The IEM is co-owner of a Micro CT scanner. It was installed as part of a research project in cooperation with the Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at the University Hospital of Zurich, and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).

Technical Details: Skyscan Micro-CT 1176
Isotropic voxel size (≅spatial resolution): 9 μm, 18 μm, 37 μm
Field of view in standard configuration: Ø 25 mm, length up to 200 mm
