Non-destructive 3D characterization
Computed Tomography (CT) allows researchers to generate 3D images of samples such as pharmaceutical formulations, thinly sliced geological or building materials samples and other X-ray transparent materials. The fundamental principle behind computed tomography is the acquisition of multiple radiographs of an object over a range of angular orientations. This series of radiographs, measured with an area detector, are then used to generate a 3D image by volumetric reconstruction. In general, any sample that can fit entirely within the field of view of the detector, and can be penetrated by X-rays in all directions perpendicular to the rotational axis, can be imaged in this way.
Empyrean is the only multipurpose laboratory XRD diffractometer that also performs x-ray computed tomography measurements. This is possible thanks to our prefix optics and high performance hybrid pixel detectors.
