Micro CT scanning

Basically a smaller version of a human CT scanner.

The Nikon Metrology XT H 225 uses X-rays to cross section a 3-dimentional object (max 25 cm x 33 cm) to create a virtual model using state of the art software without destroying the original sample.

It has uses in a wide range of areas for:

• failure analysis
• quality control 
• materials research.  

It can magnify the object up to 160 x (400 x using the software) and can ‘see’ structures down to 1 micron in size.

It has a wide range of applications in:

• biomedical research
• electronics
• micro devices
• composite materials
• polymers, construction
• geological samples (including microfossils) 
• space research
