By using ZEISS Xradia 810 Ultra X-Ray microscope, users can obtain spatial resolution down to 50 nm—the highest among lab-based X-Ray imaging systems. This non-destructive 3D imaging system is vital for today’s breakthrough research and offers flexibility and unmatched performance.
The 3D imaging system adapts advanced X-Ray optics from synchrotron technology, and the novel Xradia Ultra architecture provides absorption and phase contrast.
Users can improve the efficiency of their nanoscale imaging by up to a factor of 10 with energy at 5.4 keV and can obtain improved image contrast and quality for medium to low Z samples with the lower energy of Xradia 810 Ultra.
Users can also accomplish better in situ and 4D results by studying structural evolution over time and under different conditions. They can also use it for materials research, life sciences, natural resources and various industrial applications.
Highlights
Highest Resolution, Even Higher Contrast, Faster
ZEISS solutions offer the first non-destructive 3D X-Ray imaging with spatial resolution down to 50 nm in a lab instrument. The ZEISS Xradia 810 Ultra uses Zernike phase contrast and absorption and advanced optics adapted from the synchrotron technology for achieving better contrast and resolution for research. It allows breakthrough research by including a vital, non-destructive step in traditional imaging workflow.
The Xradia 810 Ultra offers high contrast for studies at 5.4 keV and enables high-resolution X-Ray imaging for difficult-to-image materials. Users can optimize their imaging with absorption and phase contrast for a variety of materials, such as oxides, fuel cells, polymers, composites, geological samples and biological materials.
ZEISS XRM, the leader in nanoscale X-Ray imaging at synchrotrons and renowned lab facilities, offers novel solutions to help users put their studies at the forefront of research.
Whether the work is for science or industry, the Xradia 810 Ultra optimizes the business case for XRM by providing faster nanoscale X-Ray imaging. For central microscopy laboratories, a quicker workflow allows more users to use the instrument in less time, thus extending XRM to a broad base of subscribers.
Users can also quickly conduct and repeat in situ and 4D studies of internal structures. These factors make these techniques suitable for various applications. If the applications are specific, for instance, digital rock physics for the study of the feasibility of oil and gas extraction, the Xradia 810 Ultra can offer data for characterizing critical parameters, such as porosity, within a few hours.
