Empyrean
The intelligent diffractometer
Computed Tomography (CT) allows researchers to generate 3D images of samples such as pharmaceutical formulations, thinly sliced geological or building materials samples and other X-ray transparent materials.
CT is a non-destructive technique for visualizing internal features within solid objects. It enables the examination of the structure of an object and provides information such as size, shape and location of any internal feature or defect.
The fundamental principle behind computed tomography is the acquisition of multiple radiographs of an object over a range of angular orientations. This series of radiographs, measured with an area detector, are then used to generate a 3D image by volumetric reconstruction.
In general, any sample that can fit entirely within the field of view of the detector, and can be penetrated by X-rays in all directions perpendicular to the rotational axis, can be imaged in this way.
The intelligent diffractometer
Empyrean is the only multipurpose laboratory XRD diffractometer that also performs X-ray computed tomography measurements.
This is possible thanks to our prefix optics and high performance hybrid pixel detectors.
