Bruker Introduces New SkyScan 1272, an Advanced Non-destructive X-Ray 3D Microscope

Bruker today announces the SkyScan 1272, an innovative
high-resolution X-ray micro-CT (computed tomography) system, which
can non-destructively visualize up to 200 Megapixel (14,450x14,450
pixels) virtual slices through objects. More than 2,600 slices can
be reconstructed after a single CT data acquisition scan, using new
16 Megapixel or 11 Megapixel X-ray detectors, in up to three offset
positions. Using advanced phase-contrast enhancement technology,
object details as small as 0.35μm can be detected.

The SkyScan 1272 benefits from its, automatically
adjusted acquisition geometry, an innovation that has particular
advantages for intermediate resolution levels, delivering scans
several times faster than micro-CT systems with a fixed
source-detector design. Large format imaging is enabled by
multi-threaded, GPU-accelerated 3D reconstruction and realistic
visualization by surface and volume rendering. The system also
includes a built-in, precision micro-positioning stage that
provides highly accurate sample control. Sample scanning during
compression, tension, cooling or heating is also enabled.
An optional 16-position automatic sample changer delivers higher
throughput, even enabling the addition or replacement of samples
without interrupting live X-ray scans in progress. For individual
samples, automatic magnification adjustment and optimization of
scanning protocols are available. To support flexible workflows the
SkyScan 1272 can automatically distribute results via email,
sending a link to a result file. Reconstruction results can also be
sent to an iPad, and for mobile platforms, special software can
perform volume rendering and virtual slicing of objects with touch
screen controls.
The complete range of software for 2D/3D quantitative analysis
and for realistic 3D visualization is supplied as standard with the
SkyScan 1272. An optional GPU server with eight NVIDIA Tesla
graphical processors, and a cluster version of unique hybrid
CPU/GPU software provides the fastest commercial μCT 3D
reconstruction.
