The NeoScan N70 is a Micro-CT scanner with ultimate performance to price ratio. NeoScan microCT systems are supplied with an in-house developed all-in-one software tool for intuitive scanner control and processing data. From acquisition of a full series of 2D projection images, reconstruction into a 3D volume, to visualization and inspection of this volume in 2D and 3D, the software bundles all complementary steps from sample to results.
The Neoscan software packages includes an intuitive user interface, which will guide you through your straightforward workflow, allowing to use it instantly. All final and intermediate results are stored in conventional file formats and can be imported to any other software.
The X-ray source has a permanently sealed, maintenance-free construction with a smaller than 5 micrometer spot size, which provides very high spatial resolution of the system. Integrated beam repositioning system ensures a long lifetime of the source. 20W source power leads to reduction of the scanning time and an improvement in signal-to-noise ratio.
The X-ray detector contains an active pixel CMOS flat panel bonded to a radiation hardened fiber-optic plate with high-resolution scintillator attached. The large field of view allows scanning big samples and collecting more X-ray radiation emitted by the X-ray source with corresponding reduction of scanning time and improvement of image quality.
The new electromechanical object manipulator in combination with drive electronics for micro-stepping control of all motors provide micron-level accuracy in object positioning and rotation during scanning. The system includes an integrated micro-positioning stage with 10mm travel on top of the object rotation assembly for exact sample positioning or for selection of the scanning volume of interest inside big samples.
The NEOSCAN N70 system includes internal shielding against radiation leaks sufficient for using this instrument in a standard laboratory environment. The shielding is according to all safety regulations without any additional requirements to installation areas. Due to the significant weight, the system should be installed on a strong, stable desk (not supplied with the system) in a vibration-free room.
The system is supplied with a variety of stages for different object sizes including a special stage for large objects with three independently adjustable jaws.
The system can be supplied with an optional workstation in one of two standard configurations with all preinstalled software, or with the software package and all necessary calibration parameters supplied on a USB flash drive for installation on the customer computer. The system requires one USB3 and one USB2 connection to the control computer.
