Bruker launches SKYSCANT™1273 benchtop 3D X-ray microscope

The SKYSCAN 1273 benchtop 3D X-ray microscope requires minimum lab space, is easy to use, and virtually maintenance-free. It sets a new standard for non-destructive testing with benchtop instruments, providing a performance level previously only achieved by floor standing systems. Micro-CT with helical scanning for distortion-free data acquisition and artefact-free reconstruction algorithms provides images without blurring, even for planar structures in all directions.
Bruker AXS Product Line Manager for 3D X-ray Microscopy, Dr. Geert Vanhoyland, said: “The SKYSCAN 1273 is a turnkey solution for non-destructive 3D imaging, covering a variety of industrial and scientific applications. This includes defect detection for casting, machining, and additive manufacturing, inspection of complex electro-mechanical assemblies, pharmaceutical packaging, advanced medical tools, geological drill cores, and non-ambient microscopy.”
Bruker BioSpin Micro-CT Market Product & Applications Manager, Dr. Kjell Laperre, said: “The SKYSCAN 1273 significantly extends the capabilities in preclinical imaging. Its large sample compartment combined with the higher-energy, higher-power X-ray source allows ex vivo imaging of larger and higher density samples in forensic, orthopaedic, paleontological, and zoology applications.”
