XRM University: XRM 201 - Scout and Zoom and High Resolution Imaging on Versa
A ZMCC SkillBuilder Workshop
Workshop Overview & Agenda
Extremely versatile ZEISS Xradia Versa 3D X-ray microscopes (XRM) provide superior 3D image quality and data for a wide range of materials and working environments. Xradia Versa XRM features dual-stage magnification based on synchrotron-caliber optics and revolutionary RaaD™ (Resolution at a Distance) technology for high resolution even at large working distances. Non-destructive imaging preserves and extends the use of your valuable sample, enabling 4D and in situ studies.
This workshop is an introduction to the Scout-and-Zoom function of ZEISS Xradia Versa systems. A foundational understanding of setting up a Full Field of View (FFOV) scan using Scout and Scan software, along with basic proficiency in navigating a 3D dataset, is necessary.
This is a 3-hour workshop with a short break
Topics that will be covered in this workshop include:
- Scout: Reviewing how to set up a full field-of-view scan with a Versa. It is expected for the attendees to know how to find the right scan parameters such as kV, filter, exposure time, etc (as covered in XRM University_XRM 101 Versa Operation)
- Zoom: Finding the Region of Interest (ROI) through different methods and adjusting the new Field of View (FOV)
- Setting up an interior tomography
- High Resolution Imaging Consideration
Who should attend?
- Infrequent Versa users in need of a refresh on scan setup and optimization
- Versa users in need of learning Scout and Zoom
- Lab managers or technicians looking to improve their own skill level to better support and/or train other users of the instrument
Learning objectives: after completion of this workshop, attendees will be able to:
- Efficiently navigate within their sample to accurately target the correct ROI for higher resolution imaging
- Choose the best parameters for achieving high-quality interior tomographies
This is a paid workshop with limited availability.
It is highly recommended to have access to a Versa system to apply the lessons learned and share results with the applications team for further support, either during or shortly after the training.
