ZEISS Xradia Synchrotron Family

Xradia Synchrotron solutions from ZEISS allow users to avoid expensive and laborious in-house development by bringing nanoscale X-Ray imaging to the synchrotron facility. The adjustable and ultra-bright X-Ray beams that are available at present synchrotron facilities are integrated with proprietary X-Ray optics and a well-known 3D X-Ray microscopy platform.

Having a range of contrast settings, it is possible for users to obtain rapid and non-destructive 3D imaging witha resolution of <30 nm. The 3D imaging microscopes of the Xradia Synchrotron series encompass an extensive energy range from mild to hard X-Rays.

Highlights

Xradia 800 Synchrotron: Hard X-Ray Nanotomography

With 3D tomographic imaging using X-Rays, comprehensive volumetric data on internal structures can be obtained without the need for cutting or sectioning at the region of interest.

The Xradia 800 Synchrotron, functioning in the 5–11 keV energy range, has the potential to photograph a broad range of samples with a resolution of <30 nm. This includes catalysts, battery and fuel cell electrodes, and hard and soft tissue.

Sophisticated methods, such as XANES spectro-microscopy for 3D chemical mapping and in situ imaging on the Xradia 800 Synchrotron, help to examine materials in real-world settings.

Xradia 825 Synchrotron: Soft X-Ray Nanotomography

3D tomographic imaging in the soft X-Ray range, which consists of the water window up to 2.5 keV issuitable for the structural imaging of complete tissues and cells.

Cryogenic sample management enables users to image in ahydrated,frozen condition, thereby decreasing radiation damage and retaining the material as near to its natural state as possible. Also, chemical state mapping of organic and inorganic materials, as well as imaging of magnetic domains, are utilized.
