Xradia Microtomography XCT-400 Machine

This equipment provides 3D non-invasive imaging of internal microstructures and porosity at micron to submicron resolution. This instrument is unique in that it uses x-ray attenuation combined with phase imaging to provide high contrast images in soft and hard materials at different length scales. This enables the non-destructive imaging of inclusions/pores/fibers within structures, with relevance to materials applications, as well as in vitro imaging of individual cells in biofilms/animals/plants, with relevance to life science applications.
