CT Lab
The CT lab is intended to establish a transfer of methods developed at synchrotrons to more readily available laboratory setups.
Methods
- Hard X-ray grating interferometry (IMT, IPS)
- Photon counting & spectroscopic imaging detectors (BIRD)
- Laminography (ANKA + ESRF)
- Various kinds of X-ray optics (IMT, IPS)
Applications
- Biology & life sciences
- Non-destructive testing
- Materials science
- Cultural heritage
Key Features of the CT Lab
- Hard X-ray grating interferometry
• Differential phase contrast
• Scattering contrast
• Absorption contrast
- Photon counting & spectroscopic imaging detectors:
• Multi-energy CT
• Material discrimination
- Laminography:
• Investigation of thin and extended objects
- Photon counting & spectroscopic imaging detectors:
• Wide range of applications
• Determine key features for more dedicated setups
Based on an X-ray tube, our setup provides imaging capabilities complementary to those available at the IPS beam lines:.
- Study of large objects (80 x 190 cm2 field of view, up to 50 kg of payload)
- Divergent beam, enabeling the magnification of small objects (≈ 400x), by using focal spot sizes of less than 1 µm
- Hard X-rays (maximum of 225 keV)
