Equipment Model and Introduction

The BRUKER Micro-CT is a high-resolution, low-radiation, high-performance in vivo 3D X-ray microtomography scanner designed for preclinical scientific research. Its large 11-megapixel X-ray camera CCD integrates resolution, field of view, and scanning speed to meet various research requirements. It supports whole-body scanning of small mice and rats at high resolutions, as well as limb scanning of larger animals such as rabbits. The variable X-ray tube voltage and up to six automatic metal filter converters provide flexibility in scanning, supporting a wide range of sample imaging including whole mice, bones (with metal implants), teeth, organs, blood vessels, and fatty tissues, and offering as many optimized scanning options as possible.

Detection Description

The micro-CT detection system is a fully shielded chamber that allows high-resolution X-ray scanning imaging of biological materials such as bones and teeth without damaging the samples. It provides complete scan imaging results and result parameter analysis.
