MicroCT
Thermo Scientific HeliScan Mk2 Features
From Thermo Scientific:
- The most versatile micro computed-tomography (microCT) solution for quantitative analysis.
- HeliScan™ pioneers a new generation of microCT technology for a variety of research applications: unique helical scanning and iterative reconstruction technology produce unsurpassed image fidelity and deliver the highest signal-to-noise ratio compared to traditional circular scanning technology.
The unique benefits of Heliscan include:
- Capture high-fidelity images from tall samples by using a single continuous scan to completely eliminate artifacts common to multi-scan stitching methods
- Detect the contours of your sample in the initial scan using a novel auto envelope workflow technique. No other microCT system features such a capability.
- Prevent well-known motion deformation from taking effect with an advanced artifacts correction technique to flatten the helical trajectory.
