TESCAN ORSAY HOLDING a.s. declares the primary set up of its UniTOM XL with the brand new Spectral CT functionality at College of Pau’s DMEX Centre for X-ray Imaging, Pau, France. Spectral CT supplies chemical data at any level inside a pattern, which isn’t potential utilizing micro-CT alone.
With Spectral CT scientists can now see essentially the most delicate modifications in materials composition and purity, and low distinction supplies, reminiscent of polymers, will be differentiated from one another. Uni Pau might be utilizing Spectral CT to push the boundaries of x-ray imaging throughout all kinds of analysis functions: inexperienced vitality (biofuels and reviewable vitality sources); supplies science (poisonous components in paints and different supplies); drugs (how strontium, a pure aspect in bone well being, performs a task in Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis); conservation of historic buildings and art work; and extra.
Using Spectral CT for chemical mapping might be critically essential throughout all of those functions,” mentioned Dr. Wesley De Boever, product advertising and marketing supervisor, TESCAN. “Now, with Spectral CT, analysis services like Uni Pau have synchrotron-like energy of their lab. They’ll simply get a 3D map of the mineralogy of a geological pattern – which is an enormous benefit when learning pyrite crystals, quartz, calcite, and so on. And so they can shortly detect heavy metals in paint and dyes. And naturally, this functionality is particularly essential for almost the whole lot in vitality analysis.
Based on Uni Pau’s Peter Moonen, professor at Pau College and director of the Centre for X-ray Imaging,
With the UniTOM XL and Spectral CT, we are able to cowl a really huge vitality vary, low vitality for organic samples and excessive vitality for supplies science functions like learning composites, which make it the perfect resolution for our scientifically various lab.” Moonen provides, “Most significantly, nonetheless, Spectral CT is the primary resolution that brings chemical evaluation to micro-CT, and we’re very excited concerning the alternative to work with TESCAN to proceed to advance this method an push the capabilities of x-ray imaging ahead.”
Spectral CT was launched by TESAN in 2022 and is an choice for TESCAN’s and micro-CT techniques. It may be added to current TESCAN UniTOM XL or CoreTOM devices with out compromising any of the system’s options. It’s a full {hardware}/software program resolution that’s built-in into the micro-CT system for excessive ease-of-use, with just one click on wanted to modify between structural and spectral data. A full software program suite options acquisition, reconstruction and evaluation of spectral knowledge.
