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.
