microCT model: X4 POSEIDON

The X4 POSEIDON is a powerful micro-computed tomography machine that delivers the functionality of a floor-standing system in a compact benchtop design.

Micro-CT, also known as 3D X-ray microscopy (3D XRM), is an advanced imaging technique that provides an in-depth 3D view of samples for biomedical, life and materials science.

• The X4 POSEIDON is a state-of-the-art, high-resolution 3D X-ray imaging system that builds upon the successes of our and well-established SKYSCAN 1272 and SKYSCAN 1275 systems.
• The modular hardware and user-centered software of the X4 POSEIDON can be tailored to any analytical task. Thanks to its flagship technology, the system is effective at balancing field-of-view, magnification, and speed - allowing lightning fast scan times with expansive coverage and resolving features as small as 2 μm.
• The X4 POSEIDON combines two detectors to create the first ever Multi-Vision benchtop 3D X-ray microscopy solution. Our advanced acquisition algorithms and unique GEM Plus™ feature ensure that every 3D image is optimally collected.
• The X4 POSEIDON is an accessible, walk-up system that provides unparalleled ease-of-use with a straightforward workflow, an intuitive user interface, and multi-language support.
• Requiring only standard power and a lab workbench, the X4 POSEIDON fits into any lab, bringing high-quality, non-destructive 3D imaging to everyone, everywhere!

The versatility of the X4 POSEIDON means it can be used in a wide range of materials science applications - from the research and development of novel materials to the failure analysis of high-tech electronic and optical components.

• Typical applications for this system are the visualization of tumor growth or vascularization in the mouse lung. Emphysema and fibrosis are also clearly visualized.
• Ultimate performance in a desktop model, voxel size to 0.45um, x-ray voltage 40-100kV, provide resolution and contrast down to the lung alveolar level.
• Stabilizing these fragile or wet tissues during scanning can be challenging, a special set of Bruker developed specimen chambers can take care of this.
• Full in-house software solution for lung tumor morphometric analysis, auto-separation of lung from other tissues in CT-Analyser software.
