Bruker SKYSCAN 1273

Bruker SKYSCAN 1273 – High-Resolution 3D X-ray Microscope

Bruker SKYSCAN 1273 is a high-capacity benchtop 3D X-ray microscope (XRM) designed for non-destructive investigation of large and complex samples. It provides detailed 3D visualization of internal structures without cutting or damaging the sample.

The system combines a high-energy X-ray source of up to 130 kV with a large 6 MP flat-panel detector, enabling fast scanning and high-quality imaging. The 3D.SUITE software package provides reconstruction, 2D/3D analysis, and visualization of the acquired data.
