X-ray scanning
X-ray scanning
X-ray scanning provides non-destructive imaging of complex internal structures, offering insight into deeply buried micro and nanostructures that may be unobservable with 2D imaging techniques such as optical microscopy, SEM and AFM. These capabilities, in particular micro and nanotomography, enable highly efficient examination of components during development or when analysing a fault. For life sciences, the equipment can be used to inspect the internal structure of biological specimens, such as bone, soft tissue, and biomedical devices with resolution down to 50 nm on some tools.

LOCATION
Zeiss Xradia MicroXCT 400
Micron-scale 3D x-ray tomography system
SA Node
University of South Australia
Description
Ultra-high resolution CT scanner for 3D visualisation of microscopic sample volumes. A fully automated non-destructive technique with 3D resolution down to 1µm.
Related Information
Offers the ability to view "inside" samples to see critical internal structures, features and defects of biological materials, ceramics, glasses, metals, polymers and semiconductors. As such, its very useful when identifying faults in components, or for part inspection.

Zeiss Xradia NanoXCT L200
Nanometre-scale 3D x-ray tomography system
SA Node
University of South Australia
Description
Ultra-high resolution CT scanner for 3D visualisation of microscopic sample volumes with down to 50nm resolution.Outstanding images can be obtained from both low and high atomic number materials, composites, polymers and biological samples without the addition of contrasting agents. The associated software allows calculation of pore size, continuity calculations, density and standard surface metrology evaluation.
