DynaTOM 1

Tescan DynaTOM enables real-time 4D insights into material behavior under true experimental conditions. Its rotating gantry with a fixed sample allows continuous, non-destructive imaging during in-situ experiments, making it the world’s first and only laboratory micro-CT system of its kind. With high temporal resolution, uninterrupted scanning and advanced 4D reconstruction, it brings synchrotron-like capabilities into the laboratory.

  • Continuous, high-speed 4D imaging for real-time material analysis

  • Non-destructive in-situ micro-CT with a fixed sample and rotating gantry

  • Temporal resolution of less than 10 seconds per rotation

  • Real-time reconstruction for faster experiment feedback

  • Designed for complex in-situ testing stages — no cable management issues during rotation

Where Tescan DynaTOM

makes the difference

True 4D Imaging in the Laboratory

Capture real-time structural evolution with continuous, uninterrupted scanning. DynaTOM delivers high quality dynamic tomography directly in the lab for time-resolved material studies.

Non-Destructive In-Situ Experiments

A fixed sample stage with rotating source and detector enables complex in-situ setups without cable interference, preserving sample integrity throughout the experiment.

Continuous Data Acquisition

High temporal resolution (less then 10 seconds per rotation) ensures smooth, continuous capture of events and rapid processes.

Seamless Workflow Integration

Acquila™ and Panthera™ software environments manage acquisition, reconstruction, and visualization. This provides complete experimental control from setup to analysis.

Compatible with Complex Experimental Workflows

Engineered to support heating, compression, flow, and electrochemical setups, DynaTOM accommodates a wide range of in-situ environments.

Synchrotron-Like Results, Laboratory Accessibility

Advanced detector technology and optimized geometry bring large-scale facility performance to everyday research, making high-speed 4D imaging more accessible.
