For any sample, which can be up to 75mm in diameter, the system can automatically optimize x-ray energy and energy filtering using a new maintenance-free X-ray source and automatic 6-position filter changer. Large format imaging has been supported by multithreaded GPU-accelerated 3D-reconstruction and realistic visualization by surface and volume rendering.
The system includes a built-in precision micropositioning stage and can scan samples during compression, tension, cooling or heating. An optional 16-position automatic sample changer allows the adding / removing / replacing of samples without interrupting a live scanning process (see how it works). Automatic magnification adjustment and scanning protocol optimization is available for individual samples.
