Nanoscale X-ray Imaging: Experience Synchroton-like Performance in the Lab
With the ZEISS Xradia 800 Ultra X-ray microscope, achieve spatial resolution down to 50 nm, the highest among lab-based X-ray imaging systems. With non-destructive 3D imaging playing a vital role in today’s breakthrough research, you will experience unparalleled performance in an ultra-high resolution lab-based system. The innovative Xradia Ultra architecture features absorption and phase contrast imaging modes and X-ray energy of 8 keV, using unique optics adapted from the synchrotron. With Xradia 800 Ultra, expect to accomplish unrivaled in situ and 4D capabilities for studying material evolution over time and extend the limits of X-ray imaging used in materials science, life sciences, natural resources, and diverse industrial applications.
With resolution as fine as 50 nm, Xradia 800 Ultra provides you with insight into microscopic structures and processes previously not accessible with conventional lab-based X-ray technology. Operating with 8 keV X-rays provides excellent penetration and contrast for a wide range of materials, enabling you to observe structures and materials in their natural state.
ZEISS Xradia 800 Ultra delivers reliable internal 3D information otherwise only accessible with destructive methods like cross-sectioning. The large working distance and atmospheric sample environment allow you to perform in situ studies with ease.
Materials Research
For advanced materials development: study and predict material properties and evolution. Characterize 3D structures of composite materials, such as fuel cells, polymers and composites. Measure and identify porosity, cracks, phase distribution etc. Material of different densities may be segmented through the use of absorption-contrast imaging.
Raw Materials
Oil & gas drilling feasibility studies: perform virtual core analysis to reduce time to results. Nanoscale pore structure measurements for geological samples can now be conducted in a few hours compared to traditional core analysis. Perform flow modeling on the nanoscale to complement submicron imaging with the Versa microscope. Understand geomechanics under load, study the effects of tensile pressure on metals, or analyze ceramics under pressure.
Life Sciences
Xradia 800 Ultra offers the ability to visualize the internal structure of biological specimens, such as bone and soft tissue, with resolution down to 50 nm. It offers superior contrast, nanoscale 3D X-ray imaging for a variety of materials such as polymers for drug delivery, tissue samples, and scaffolds for tissue engineering.
Electronics
Xradia 800 Ultra offers visualization of semiconductor samples for electronics packaging research and development.
The innovative ZEISS Scout-and-ScanTM Control System represents a significant usability and productivity improvement for Xradia Ultra. Scout-and-Scan streamlines sample and scan set-up to boost your productivity with Xradia Ultra.
The workflow-based user interface guides you through the process of aligning the sample, scouting for regions of interest, and setting up 3D scans. Recipes allow you to set up multiple scans of the same sample to image various regions of interest, or to combine different imaging modes. The easy-to-use system is ideal for a central lab-type setting where users may have a wide variety of experience levels.
