Micro-CT imaging capabilities
High resolution micro CT (ANU4)
This system has designed as general purpose system for a wide range of experiments giving the best compromise of performance for small to medium sized samples.
Specifications
- High resolution helical-CT
- 20-150kV
- Up to 500uA beam current
- 1um minimum voxel size
- Samples diamter 2-100mm, limits depend on sample
- Vertical travel = 100mm
- Detector resolution = 3k x 3k
Large volume micro CT (ANU1)
This system has moderate-flux, moderate energy reflection X-ray source and 250mm travel vertical stage. This is ideally suited for larger volume samples (e.g. 10mm-50mm diameter and up to 150 mm long) and in-situ experiments.
Specifications
- Large volume (long travel) helical-CT
- 50-180kV
- 2um minimum voxel size
- Sample diameter >3mm, limits depend on sample
- Vertical travel = 250mm
- Detector resolution = 2.8k x 2.8k
Sub-micron CT scanner (ANU2)
This is cutting edge sub-micron with LaB6 filament X-ray source capable of resolving down to 250nm. Motion control system is based on Air-bearing technology to achieve greatest accuracy and stability.
Specifications
- Highest resolution helical-CT at ANU
- 20-150kV
- 333nm voxel size
- Sample diameter <2mm
- Vertical travel = 50mm
- Detector resolution = 2k x 2k
Meso-CT
This system has high-flux, high energy reflection X-ray source and over 1000mm travel vertical stage. This is ideally suited for larger volume samples (e.g. 25mm-100mm diameter and up to 1000 mm long) and in-situ experiments.
Specifications
- Under development in 2017
- Large volume (long travel) helical-CT
- 50-300kV
- Up to 1000uA beam current
- 6um minimum voxel size
- Sample diameter >25mm
- Vertical travel > 1000mm
- Detector resolution = 3k x 3k
