A true X-ray microscope, the Rigaku nano3DX X-ray microscope images the entire sample from various angles and while doing so, rebuilds a 3D image at 0.27µm resolution. In addition, the instrument offers an ultra-wide field of view and features high-resolution optics and high-power rotating anode together with sub-micron CCD technology. This combination allows for rapid data collection and offers the ability to switch anode materials quickly to optimize data acquisition.

The computer model enables users to visualize sections at any point on any plane, thus providing a better understanding of the sample’s structure. X-ray microscopy is suitable for all types of materials, from high density materials such as steels and ceramics to low density materials such as biological samples.
