FromMicro Photonics Inc.

SHARE

The SKYSCAN 1273 is Bruker’s latest bench-top 3D X-ray microscope based on micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) technology. The system can accommodate samples up to 500 mm length, 300 mm diameter, and a maximum weight of 20 kg, which is a new standard for non-destructive testing (NDT) using a desktop instrument. Best-in-class components turn the SkyScan 1273 into a real power house. The high-energy X-ray source running at high power, combined with a large format flat-panel detector with ultimate sensitivity and speed, provides excellent image quality in just a few seconds. An entire scan can be completed in as little as 12 seconds. Orders of magnitude faster than our previous generation systems! The SkyScan 1273 benchtop 3D X-ray microscope requires minimum lab space, is easy to start running, and virtually maintenance-free. Consequently, the SKYSCAN 1273 micro-CT offers high system uptime with low cost of ownership.

DESKTOP YET LARGE FORMAT

The SkyScan 1273 High-Capacity Micro-CT provides the ability to image large and/or dense objects that typically require larger, more expensive floor standing models, but in the space saving format of a benchtop model. The SkyScan 1273 plugs into a standard 110V wall outlet, does not require water-cooling, or compressed air making installation easy in almost any laboratory setting.

HIGH CAPACITY

The SkyScan 1273 has one of the largest chamber sizes on the market for desktop micro-CTs. The specialized rotation stage allows objects up to 25kg to be mounted without any loss in rotational accuracy.

LARGE FIELD OF VIEW

The large field-of-view CMOS detector is combined with the innovative SkyScan OFFSET scanning mode—a physical horizontal shifting of the detector to widen the field of view and increase the pixel array, without having to increase the working distance.

HIGH ENERGY

The SkyScan 1273 offers a high energy X-ray source for a desktop, with flexible modes to image very fine structures at high resolution or scale up with more power for larger denser objects.

HELICAL SCAN MODE

In addition to the standard circular scan mode, helical scanning and reconstruction can be select to optimize image acquisition and minimize reconstruction artifacts on metal objects like implants and other manufactured parts.

HART MODE

High Aspect Ratio Tomography (HART) allows for adaptive rotational steps for faster scanning of high aspect dimensional samples.

IN SITU STAGES

Each system comes pre-wired to accept specially designed in situ stages for dynamic testing. The Materials Testing Stage (MTS) allows for in situ compression or tension testing of materials. Heating and Cooling Stages are ideal for material characterization for thermal effects.

SOFTWARE

The SkyScan 3D Software Suite is supplied as an unlimited site license so each user can have a copy; ensuring workflow from multiple groups is easily managed. Segmented software programs means post acquisition reconstruction, analysis, and modeling can be done on different computers, freeing the system for scanning. Image file outputs are standardized to TIF, BMP, or JPG formats for easy viewing, transferring, or copying.
