ModalityX-Ray Computed Tomography (CT/microCT)
DescriptionmicroXCT utilizes cone-beam acquisition: data for up to 2000 slices covering an entire volume can be acquired in a single rotation. Because the height of the scan field is equivalent to its width, high-aspect-ratio specimens must generally be scanned in contiguous parts and the parts then matched together. The microXCT scanner features a Hamamatsu X-ray source capable of energies from 40 to 150 kV. The detectors are mounted on microscope objectives with magnifications ranging from 0.4X to 40X; the former yields a field of view of ~55 mm, whereas the latter yields ~0.5 mm. Thus the spatial resolution for the microXCT ranges from ~55 µm to less than 1 µm. The microXCT scanner also offers the advantage of enhanced phase contrast to better image materials with low mean atomic numbers such as soft tissues and polymers.
