SkyScan1172 (high-resolution micro-CT)
The SkyScan 1172 represents a new generation in x-ray micro-CT
systems. A novel architecture in which the sample stage and
the x-ray camera can both move during magnification adjustment,
allows an unprecedented combination of spatial resolution,
image quality, sample size accommodation and scanning speed.
The innovative flexible geometry of the SkyScan 1172 scanner
is particularly advantageous over intermediate resolution
levels, where scans are several times faster (to obtain the
same or better image quality) compared to micro-CT systems
with a fixed source-detector design. The new large format
cooled x-ray digital camera achieves high spatial resolution
without compromising sample size. Fast scan and reconstruction
throughput is supported by a computer cluster option, which
reconstructs scan datasets in less time than the scan duration
in most cases, using several PCs in parallel. Cross section
images are generated in a wide range of formats up to 8k x
8k pixels. The full range of SkyScan software for 2D / 3D
quantitative analysis and for realistic 3D visualization supplied
with all scanners.
