X-ray microscopy from ZEISS

ZEISS X-ray microscopy for industry

ZEISS X-ray microscopy for industry offers significant advantages for your workflows by providing a non-destructive, 3D view of the interior of specimens. It allows you to capture a full, detailed view of structures and failures without altering the specimen. This technique is ideal for monitoring changes over time, as it preserves the integrity of the specimen. ZEISS X-ray microscopy complements other imaging and analytical methods, such as SEM, FIB-SEM, light microscopy, and various testing techniques like XRD, XPS, and mechanical tests. Its ability to integrate with 4D experiments further enhances its value in complex research and analysis.​

Productivity

Faster time-to-results and scantimes to accelerate and accommodate more users and sample types.

Capability

Push the boundaries of RaaD (Resolution at a Distance) to the next level with even higher resolution for a larger variety sample sizes and types. Benefit from faster scans, for larger samples with ZEISS Flat Panel Detector (FPX).

High-capability X-ray imaging for industrial applications

RaaD combines geometric projection and optical magnification to support high-resolution analysis across varied sample sizes.
  • With Resolution at a Distance (RaaD) from ZEISS​

    Non-destructive imaging at submicron-scale resolution​

    By using two-stage (geometric + optical) magnification, a 3D X-ray microscope can produce high-resolution images even of relatively large, intact objects. This is largely due to the detector design shown on the right. Scintillator-coupled optics with different magnifications allow the user to adjust the imaging magnification independently of the working distance, which is not possible in microCT. This is called RaaD = Resolution at a Distance.

  • Standard microCT​

    Without using ZEISS Resolution at a Distance (RaaD)​

    If you were to use a flat-panel-based microCT to obtain the best resolution of an apple seed, you would have to cut the apple open and place it very close to the X-ray source. Even by doing that, the scanning resolution would still be limited to a range above 2 µm, depending on the detector you use.
