Technical aspects
Several mounting options are available. The maximum feasible sample size depends on the transparency (for X-rays) of the actual sample. Geometrically speaking, fist-sized samples can be fully imaged. However, the interior of even larger samples can be imaged – Please refer to the application scientist.
-
In-situ capabilitiesThe cabinet allows connection of flexible cables or tubing (e. g., for an X-ray-transparent flow cell unit)
