Purpose

The N80 X-ray micro-tomograph enables X-ray analysis and spatial (3D) reconstruction of native animal and plant specimens. It operates in the range of 40 to 100 keV and achieves a resolution of in a micrometer range. The system is upgraded with a cooling and heating sample stage, allowing observations of frozen objects and analysis of the temperature effect on samples in situ.
