The characteristics of
The main features
The light source
SKYSCAN 2214 using the latest generation of open X light source.The light source can be achieved is better than the actual spatial resolution of 500 nm, 160 keV X-ray energy, and power of up to 16 W.Because have very simple registration in advance of the filament replacement program, the light source is hardly needs to be maintained.
SKYSCAN 2214 with diamond Windows open (pump) nano focus X-ray sources.It can produce peak energy range from 20 kV to 160 keV X beam, and there are two types of the cathode.Tungsten (W) cathode applies to a maximum of 160 kV complete acceleration voltage range, minimum spot diameter of 800 nm.Six boride lanthanum (LaB6) cathode applies from the acceleration of 20 kV to 100 kV voltage of X-ray beam spot size can be smaller than 500 nm, to ensure the highest resolution in imaging and 3 d reconstruction.JIMA resolution test card shows that it can easily parse out the structure of 500 nm.In order to ensure that the position of the focal spot size and source can remain stable for a long time, X light also can equipped with water cooling system, the system contains a loop device, can accurately control the temperature of the cooling liquid in order to maintain the stability of the temperature.
The detector
In order to achieve the maximum flexibility, SKYSCAN 2214 can be equipped with up to four X-ray bomb detectors: three with different resolution and field of CCD detector, and a large size of the flat panel detector.To select all detectors are available by clicking the mouse.Different CCD detector can be in any time within the system life cycle to be modified.
Three CCD detector can be at the center of the beam and two offset pictures, so as to make the double field range.By offset compensation and intensity difference correction, the two offset can be automatically mosaics of images taken together.
When using small pixels of a CCD detector, the large size of the object can also high resolution imaging and 3 d reconstruction.The flexibility of built-in detector can make it according to the object size and density adjustment field and spatial resolution.Local reconstruction through advanced large samples, it can with high resolution scanning a particular part of a larger object, and get the same high quality images.
In addition, by using the detector's offset and vertical movement of the object, but also expand the field of view from the horizontal and vertical direction.
In situ test rig
With highly accurate sample 2214 SKYSCAN, support up to 300 mm diameter and weight of up to 20 kg object.Air suspension rotation motor can precisely at very high accuracy rotating object position, integration of precision positioning platform can guarantee the sample completely aligned.
SKYSCAN 2214 has a very big sample room and easy to use, convenient scanning large objects and install an optional test rig.It has enough space to accommodate the peripheral equipment.
Brooke's material test bench can be maximum compression test of 4400 N and 440 N tensile test.All test bench can be contacted automatically by the system of the turntable, without any external cables.Through the use of software provided, can set the scheduled scan test.
Brooke's heating and cooling units can reach the highest + 80 DHS C or below the lowest environment temperature low temperature of 30 DHS C.And other test bench, heating and cooling units do not need any extra connection, the system can automatically identify the different test rig.Through the use of heating and cooling, the test samples under the condition of the environment, to assess the micro structure of the temperature of the sample.
SKYSCAN and DEBEN test-bed is fully compatible with 2214.With the aid of own adapter, DEBEN test-bed can easily be installed to the SKYSCAN 2214 rotary table.
