Micro X-ray CT preclinical tomography system CT Lab HX

Flexible geometry for 2.1 um/voxel resolution Flexible geometry for 200 mm FOV Versatile and compact benchtop design The versatile and compact micro CT scanner What is CT Lab HX? Rigaku CT Lab HX is a benchtop micro CT (computed tomography) scanner. The adjustable SOD (source-to-object distance) and SDD (source-to-detector distance) make this benchtop micro CT scanner flexible. It covers from 2.1 um voxel resolution in the high-resolution mode and 200 mm FOV (field of view) in the large FOV mode. The CT Lab HX is equipped with a 130 kV - 39 W high power X-ray source. The X-ray source settings and X-ray filters are adjustable to optimize the X-ray energy to various sample materials and sizes. CT Lab HX features: Flexible design to cover high-resolution to large FOV 2.1 um voxel resolution 200 mm FOV How do I achieve high resolution? Rigaku CT Lab HX uses the cone-beam geometry. This geometry uses the X-ray beam divergence to magnify the sample image. The magnification factor is determined by the ratio of SOD (source-to-object distance) and SDD (source-to-detector distance). So to achieve high resolution, you can increase the SDD and/or decrease SOD. CT Lab HX has the flexibility to do them both in its compact design. With the long SDD and short SOD settings, you can achieve 2.1 um voxel resolution (~ 5 um spatial resolution) on the CT Lab HX. This resolution can reveal micro cracks, voids, fibers in composites, etc.
