Modules & Components

Extend the Capabilities of Your System with Add-Ons and Modules

Zernike Phase Contrast

Visualize Low Density Materials and Highlight Cracks and Interfaces

Phase contrast imaging utilizes the refraction of X-rays rather than absorption. It is very sensitive to interfaces between materials of similar density or low absorption (edge enhancement). The Xradia Ultra family enables you to employ the Zernike method for phase contrast, whereby the sample is illuminated by an annular beam and a phase ring is inserted in the beam path after the objective. The phase ring shifts the phase of the background light relative to the light scattered by the specimen. The interference of the two beams in the detector plane turns phase shifts into intensity variations.

Benefits:

  • Image samples consisting of low density materials that don’t absorb X-rays measurably
  • Highlight fine cracks and interfaces in your specimen
  • The combination of absorption and phase contrast enables imaging the widest range of materials from polymers and biomaterials to ceramics, composites and rocks to metals

Increase Your Instrument Performance and Capabilities by Upgrading to the Next Model

Xradia 800 Ultra to Xradia 810 Ultra

Increase Imaging Throughput by up to 10 Times

In XRM, contrast depends on the material being imaged and the X-ray energy used. The Xradia Ultra family comprises Xradia 800 Ultra, operating at 8 keV photon energy, and Xradia 810 Ultra, operating at 5.4 keV. In general, lower energy X-rays are absorbed more strongly and therefore will provide you with higher contrast. Thus, as long as transmission remains sufficient, you will experience resulting image quality and/or throughput that are greatly improved with Xradia 810 Ultra. For materials of higher density, or thick specimens, you may need the higher X-ray energy of Xradia 800 Ultra for sufficient transmission.  

Benefits:

  • Improve imaging contrast and throughput for low to medium density materials
  • For materials such as rock and dentin, a ten-times throughput increase at equivalent image quality has been demonstrated
