X-ray CT method

X-ray Computed Tomography

By irradiating the sample with X-rays, a two-dimensional transmission image of the internal structure of the sample is obtained. Additionally, X-ray CT (Computed Tomography) images are constructed from continuous imaging data obtained by rotating the sample. - Non-destructive, allowing for the examination of the internal structure and defect shapes of the sample. - Capable of constructing 3D images and cross-sectional images at any desired location. - X-ray energy settings can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of subjects, from organic materials to electronic components. - X-ray CT measurements of the sample can be performed under conditions of tension/compression or cooling/heating using a dedicated stage. This document introduces application examples, principles, and data examples. For more details, please contact us.
