ZEISS Xradia 800 Ultra

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 integrated phase contrast technology employing the Zernike method allows enhanced visibility of grain boundaries and material interfaces when absorption contrast is low, providing you with visibility of ultra- and nano-structures without staining.

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.

• High resolution down to 50 nm is maintained for imaging of samples within in situ devices
  
• Automated image alignment for tomographic reconstruction
  
• Switchable field-of-view ranging from 15 to 60 µm
  
• Absorption and Zernike phase contrast imaging modes
• Develop, prepare and test your planned synchrotron experiments in your laboratory to make limited availability of synchrotron beam time more efficient
• Now with Scout-and-Scan Control System with an easy workflow-based user interface, ideal for the central imaging lab where users may have a wide variety of experience levels 

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.
