SkyScan-2011



The SkyScan 2011 is a compact laboratory X-ray system for the non-destructive 3D reconstruction of an object's internal microstructure, with a spatial resolution in the range of hundreds of nanometers.

It is a type of Cone beam scanner.

SPECIFICATIONS:

X-ray source .................. open (pumped) type 20-80kV, LaB6 filament, Au or W target

X-ray detector ................ intensified 1280x1024 pixels, 12bit CCD with FireWire output

Positioning accuracy .......... <100nm for rotation during scanning, <200nm overall stability

Spatial resolution ............ <150nm pixel size (isotropic), 400nm low-contrast (10%MTF)

Object size ................... 0.5-1mm for max. resolution, 11mm max.diameter (9µm pixels)

Typical scanning time ......... 15-90min for entire object volume (1280x1024 pixels projections)

Radiation safety .............. <1µSv / h at any point on the instrument surface
