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

Enjoy versatility even at large working distances from the source - from millimeters to centimeters.

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

Polymer with urethane backbone. Imaging after in situ experiments. Simulation of fluid flow demonstrates permeability.

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.
