Our MCT4 Scanner-based animal imaging service is the right choice for you.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

MCT4 Scanner

Introduction

It has three X-ray focus modes, which provide 5 µm, 20 µm and 50 µm focal spot sizes. This unit was obtained for higher energy micro-CT and scatter experiments, as it has an adjustable operational voltage range of 40 to 150 kVp. The detector is a large (130 mm by 130 mm) flat panel detector, which provides direct detection of X-ray beams. The combination of the microfocus X-ray tube with the flat panel X-ray detector and flexible geometry provides varying spatial resolutions (5 µm to 127 µm) at varying power levels.

Summary

This custom-configured commercial scanner has a wide range of potential applications. It has a microfocus X-ray source with a fixed tungsten target with a 200 µm inherent filter of beryllium plus about 1 mm aluminum (external shield).
