Micro X-Ray Ct Preclinical Tomography System

Benchtop with exceptional performance

The Rigaku CT Lab HX is a benchtop micro CT (computed tomography) scanner. This benchtop micro CT scanner is highly adaptable due to its adjustable SOD (source-to-object distance) and SDD (source-to-detector distance). It encompasses a 200 mm FOV (field of view) in the large FOV mode and a 2.1 um voxel resolution in the high-resolution mode. A high-power X-ray source with a voltage of 130 kV and a power output of 39 W is installed in the CT Lab HX. In order to optimize the X-ray energy for a variety of sample materials and sizes, the X-ray source settings and X-ray filters are adjustable.



How can I attain a high level of resolution?

The cone-beam geometry is implemented by the Rigaku CT Lab HX. The sample image is magnified by this geometry, which employs the divergence of the X-ray beam. The magnification factor is determined by the ratio of SOD (source-to-object distance) and SDD (source-to-detector distance). Therefore, in order to attain a high resolution, it is possible to either increase the SDD or decrease the SOD. The CT Lab HX's compact design allows for the flexibility to perform both tasks.input:
output:The CT Lab HX can achieve a 2.1 um voxel resolution (~ 5 um spatial resolution) when the long SDD and short SOD settings are used. This resolution has the potential to identify micro cracks, voids, and fibers in composites.How can I achieve a field of view (FOV) of 200 mm?

The size of the detector restricts the FOV (field of view) that can be scanned in a single pass. Nevertheless, the offset scan mode doubles the effective detector width, allowing for the coverage of a wide FOV without the need to modify the detector. This scan mode is employed by Rigaku CT Lab HX to achieve a 200 mm FOV without the need to modify the detector or compromise the compact system size.
