X-ray Microtomography System (SkyScan 1172 C)

Non-destructive method for small sample studies (maximum size 5 cm lenght x 2 cm diameter). Provides a 3D microscopy, in which in a single sampling step (without the need for preparation: cutting and or fine polishing) and processing of the digitized information, a model (virtual image) of the internal spatial structure of the sample can be obtained with high resolution (micrometric scale).It also possible to recover the "intact" sample at the end of the process.
