ZEISS Xradia 510 Versa
Your 3D Submicron Imaging System with Breakthrough Flexibility

Break the one micron resolution barrier with this X-ray microscope for 3D imaging and in situ / 4D investigations.
Use the combination of resolution and contrast with flexible working distances to extend the power of non-destructive imaging in your lab.
Benefit from its architecture that uses a two-stage magnification technique to achieve submicron resolution at a distance (RaaD). Reducing dependence upon geometric magnification maintains submicron resolution even at large working distances.
Highlights
- Perform 3D Imaging for soft or low-Z materials with advanced absorption and innovative phase contrast
- Achieve world-leading resolution at flexible working distances beyond the limits of projection-based micro-CT
- Resolve submicrometer-scaled features for diverse sample sizes
- Extend non-destructive imaging in your lab with an in situ / 4D solution
- Investigate materials in native-like environments over time
- Throughput with image quality
Application Examples
ZEISS Xradia 510 Versa
Materials Research
- Visualizing cracks in soft composite materials or measuring porosity in steel
- Perform in situ studies by imaging under varying conditions such as tensile, compression, gas, oxidation, wetting and temperature variations
- Image materials that are incompatible with vacuum and charged particle beams
- View into deeply buried microstructures that may be unobservable with 2D surface imaging such as optical microscopy, SEM, and AFM
- Maintain resolution at a distance for in situ imaging experiments, allowing you to study a wide variety of sample sizes and shapes using various in situ apparatus
- Understand the impact of these varying conditions over time with the non-destructive nature of X-rays

Application Video
Sintered Powder Steel
Non-destructive 3D imaging is crucial for additive manufacturing development. A powder stainless steel sample was laser-sintered and imaged by ZEISS Xradia 520 Versa. From the 3D dataset, the non-sintered solid phase was virtually segmented and volume quantified. XRM also provides ability to do interior tomography and look at virtual cross-sections without damage to the sample. Sample courtesy of NIST.

- Non-destructively scout-and-zoom from module to package to interconnect for submicron imaging of defect re-localization and characterization with a fast time to results that complements or replaces physical cross-sectioning

Upgrade your microscope with additional accessories to enhance your microscope's capability
Better image quality, higher throughput
Advanced Reconstruction Toolbox (ART) introduces Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven reconstruction technologies on your ZEISS Xradia 3D X-ray microscope (XRM) or microCT. A deep understanding of both X-ray physics and applications enable you to solve some of the hardest imaging challenges in new and innovative ways.
Discover how speed of data acquisition and reconstruction as well as image quality are enhanced without sacrificing resolution by using OptiRecon, two variants of DeepRecon and PhaseEvolve, the unique modules of ART.
- Improve data collection and analysis for accurate and faster decision-making
- Greatly enhance image quality
- Achieve superior interior tomography or throughput on a broad class of samples
- Reveal subtle difference through improved contrast-to-noise
- Increase speed at an order of magnitude for sample classes requiring repetitive workflow

The optional modules are workstation-based solutions for easy access and usability:
- DeepRecon Pro & Custom for Deep learning-based reconstruction
- PhaseEvolve for contrast enhancement
- OptiRecon for iterative reconstruction
ZEISS DeepRecon Pro provides a straightforward, uncomplicated, and powerful application of AI and deep neural network technology for enhancing X-ray tomography results without prior knowledge on deep learning technology. [...] It helps us to reduce the scan time required for in situ fluid-rock interaction experiments when we need to work with long exposure times.
