Process and Benefits

How it works:

  • In FDXM, the sample is imaged from different directions, ideally across an angular range of at least 180°.
  • A single image at one particular angle is called a projection.
  • Computer algorithms can be used to reconstruct the internal, 3-dimensional (3D) structure of the sample from a series of projections.
  • The reconstructed volume can be visualized in different ways; for example slice by slice (also referred to as virtual cross-sectioning), or by rendering a 3D view of individual internalfeatures.

Benefits:

  • Non-destructive interior tomography uniquely enabled by Scout-and-Zoom.
  • True spatial resolution of 700 nm
  • Minimum achievable voxel of 70 nm.
  • Bio implants
  • Two-stage magnification that provides resolution at a distance (RaaD), delivering large, flexible working distances while maintaining submicron resolution.
