Scanco Medical µCT 35
|
|
|
| µCT 35 is used to examine diverse materials such as ex-vivo bone samples and medical implants and are calibrated for measurement of biological tissue densities, and powerful 3D analysis routines including distance transformation, allowing measurement of thickness and separation of features like trabecular bone structure and blood vessels. The sample changer accommodates 8 sample holders. Depending on scanner type and sample holder diameter, scan position and protocol are specified for all samples interactively during loading, after which scans are performed unattended in batch mode. It also provides a software suite that offers a comprehensive solution for scanning, 3D analysis, visualization, image management and data import/export. | |
