SKYSCAN MICRO & NANOTOMOGRAPHY

Unique Insights into your Samples' Interior
Desktop Micro-CT Devices

The SkyScan desktop series impresses with a maintenance-free, robust design and simple operation. The devices are equipped with a comprehensive software package for data analysis and visualization, updates free of charge. These units can optionally be equipped with a sample changer, a module for tension and compression tests as well as a sample temperature control unit.

Sample Stages & Autosampler
Special Sample Stages

Extension and compression test for in-situ experiments
Available force range 42, 210, 440, 2200 & 4400 N
Force measurement accuracy ± 1%

Peltier elements for in-situ experiments
Cooling down to -15 °C, heating up to +80 °C

Highest Possible Throughput

Robotic tongs grab the sample holder and place it onto the rotary stage. Data acquisition and sample change are fully automated, the presence of an operator during analysis is not required.

Depending on the model, the carousel allows simultaneous installation of up to 16 samples. Already processed samples can be identified by status LEDs and may be replaced with new samples at any time during the ongoing scan.

Compatible with SkyScan 1272 & 1275
