The Versa 620 offers capabilities that extend the limits of micro-nano-CT solutions.
Capabilities include:
-
Non-destructive sub-micron scale microscopy of intact samples
-
Higher flux and faster scans without compromising resolution
-
True spatial resolution of 500 nm with a minimum achievable voxel size of 40nm
-
High resolution across a broad range of sample types, sizes, and working distances
-
In-situ imaging for non-destructive characterization of microstructures in controlled environments and over time
-
Throughput with image quality
The Zeiss Xradia 620 Versa Micro/NanoCT specializes in ultra-high resolution 3D data visualization. With objectives ranging from .4x to 40x, this system is capable of producing high-quality scans ranging from 300nm up to 30um resolution. The X-ray source powers up to 160 kV and 25 W to allow for a range of sample types, including biologics, low-density metals, polymers, and more. Most samples designated for this machine are sized to fit in a coffee straw; however, the scanner can accommodate larger samples as well. CQI staff will work closely with clients to develop best mounting practices for their samples.
The Zeiss Versa 620 is equipped with a Deben CT5000 TEC 5kN in-situ loadcell tensile stage. This allows for in-situ experiments and can provide tensile and compression testing with forces up to 20kN and resolutions down to 25mN. Motor speeds range from 0.1mm/min to 1.0mm/min. The Deben is also equipped with heated and cooled jaws to allow temperature control ranging from –20°C to 160°C. These features allow for a range of compression and tensile testing under different load conditions while collecting visual images of the changing material properties.
