See inside your sample - 3D imaging with CT
With the launch of Empyrean, PANalytical has also introduced the PIXcel3D, a revolutionary new detector that is the result of our partnership in the Medipix2 collaboration headed by CERN.
A high-performance, multi-dimensional detector, PIXcel3D can be used as a computed tomography (CT) scanner. It provides unmatched resolution because of its very small pixel size and high dynamic range.
This gives us the option to undertake non-destructive 3D imaging of objects, such as pharmaceutical formulations, thinly sliced geological or building materials samples and other X-ray transparent materials, on a standard, laboratory diffractometer. On the left side you see a CT 3D reconstruction of pharmaceutical capsules in the original blister package. After the reconstruction it is possible to “cut” the object in virtual slices/dissection and analyze the inner parts of the object.
Recent studies on the subject can be downloaded from our website ('X-ray analysis of concrete and 'A shell exposed')'
