ZEISS Xradia Synchrotron Achieve Energy-Tunable Ultra-High Resolution 3D Imaging at Your Synchrotron

ZEISS Xradia Synchrotron brings nanoscale X-ray imaging to your synchrotron facility, enabling you to forgo costly and time-consuming in-house development. Proprietary X-ray optics and a 3D X-ray spectro-microscopy platform deliver the ultra-bright, tunable X-ray beams available at facilities. Achieve fast non-destructive 3D imaging with a resolution less than 30 nm. The Xradia Synchrotron family covers energy ranges from soft to hard X-rays under diverse environments e.g. cryo-, in situ heating, load, electrochemical.

Xradia 800 Synchrotron

Hard X-ray Nanotomography

Image a wide range of your samples including battery and fuel cell electrodes, catalysts, and soft and hard tissue with resolution less than 30 nm. Operating in the 5-11 keV energy range, Xradia 800 Synchrotron is ideally suited for advanced techniques such as XANES spectro-microscopy for 3D chemical mapping and in situ imaging to enable you to study materials under real operating conditions.
Xradia 825 Synchrotron

Soft X-ray Nanotomography

Acquire 3D tomographies of whole cells and tissues in the soft X-ray range using the water window. Cryogenic sample handling enables you to image in a frozen hydrated state, minimizing effects of radiation damage while maintaining the sample as close to its natural state as possible. For even more applications include chemical state mapping of both organic and inorganic materials and imaging of magnetic domains.
