What is 'good' tomography?
High resolution, fast scanning or only imaging a certain kind of samples?
I presume you're not scanning biological material with such a high acceleration voltage, so I'd look into NDT systems from https://www.nikonmetrology.com/en-us/x-ray-ct https://www.nikonmetrology.com/en-us/x-ray-ct or https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/en/products/x-ray-microscopy.html https://www.zeiss.com/microscopy/en/products/x-ray-microscop...
- richk449 4y agoGood tomography meant that we get useful solid models in a form that is easy to interact with and pull numeric dimensional data from. Is the software separate from the hardware, or coupled? Good resolution is also important. Say I want to analyze something the size of a can of soup and get to tens of microns resolution. Zeiss and Nikon are not cheap options. Is anyone out there bringing the cost down?

Say I want to analyze something the size of a can of soup and get to tens of microns resolution. The Bruker machine I use can do ~15 cm diameter samples at ~40 um voxel size, so that’s something that should be possible with any machines. > Bringing cost down MicroCT machines are not cheap, but - as I’ve seen from our buying process - all in the same ballpark. You might not need your own machine, but use a ‘supplier’ for CT Scans in a case-to-case basis.
