Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
The SkyScan 1294 is a desktop X-ray microtomograph with a 20-60kV, 100W X-ray source, featuring a 30µm spot size and a 5-position filter changer. It includes an 11Mp cooled CCD X-ray detector with 4000 x 2672 pixels, offering a nominal resolution of less than 5.7µm. The scanning space is 22mm in diameter and 60mm in length, with a reconstructed volume up to 4000 x 4000 x 2450 pixels. It features a 3-grating Talbot-Lau X-ray interferometer and a piezo drive with 30µm travel and 2nm accuracy, ensuring radiation safety with less than 1µSv/h at any point on the instrument surface.
Phase-Contrast X-Ray Microtomography
The SkyScan 1294 enables 3D visualization of previously invisible features non-destructively, allowing observation of local X-ray refraction and scattering beyond traditional absorption imaging. This is based on phase-contrast imaging with polychromatic X-rays, licensed from the Paul Scherrer Institut.
Applications
  • Composites: Reveals morphology and orientation-selective information for carbon fibers.
  • Electronics: Displays metal contacts and glue layer details in credit card chips.
  • Biomedical: Provides detailed imaging of bone microarchitecture and soft tissues.
  • Diamonds: Visualizes external surfaces and internal defects.
  • Food: Shows internal details of fruits, including water and air transportation networks.
Unique X-Ray Grating Technology
The system uses a Talbot-Lau X-ray interferometer with gold absorption gratings on silicon substrates, converting local phase shifts into intensity modulation, allowing separation of phase-shift and scattering information from absorption data.
Software and User Interface
The SkyScan 1294 features a user-friendly interface with touchscreen control for scanning protocols and imaging adjustments. It includes a comprehensive software suite for 3D reconstruction, analysis, and visualization, supporting formats like DICOM, BMP, JPG, PNG, and TIFF. It also offers automatic email reporting and mobile app support for result visualization.
Support and Training
Bruker microCT provides extensive support through the Bruker microCT Academy, offering newsletters, application notes, and training courses. Users have access to software updates and a community for feedback and improvements.
