XR 4.0 X-ray Upgrade Set Computed Tomography

Function and Applications

Teach the fundamentals of computed tomography (CT) using a system whose specific educational application is protected by a utility model. Due to the method’s relevance to medicine, materials science, and engineering, the CT set is particularly suited for laboratory courses and lectures in physics, medicine, and materials science. It enables X-ray imaging of biological and technical samples, non-destructive testing, digital reconstruction of three-dimensional object structures, and the acquisition of Laue diffraction patterns.

Benefits

• Direct acquisition of X-ray images using a direct digital X-ray detector:
  • No additional fluorescent screen required
  • Experiments can be carried out under daylight conditions
• High-performance CMOS sensors for direct digital radiography with excellent image quality and high resolution
  • Even low-intensity Laue images can be acquired in less than 1 minute
• Z-axis rotation of the sample: movement is not influenced by gravitational effects; rigid bodies of variable size can be analyzed easily
• Acquisition of high-resolution CT scans, 360° image planes within 7 minutes (one image per second, one degree per image)
• Utility model protection registered with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office
