Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa 3D X-ray Microscope / Micro CT

Micro CTs generate 3D models from a series of non-destructive X-ray cross sections. The X-ray microscope (XRM) uses optical magnification to enhance the resolution of micro CT. Like electron microscopy, micro CT has applications in all fields of science, engineering and industrial applications.
