Full-Spectrum Imaging
Capture the entire X-ray spectrum during every scan to reveal both structural and elemental information in one dataset—no additional instruments or destructive preparation required.
Non-destructive elemental information from any point inside a sample
Tescan Spectral CT
Tescan Spectral CT is designed for laboratories that need non-destructive 3D elemental insight alongside structural imaging. As an add-on to the Tescan UniTOM XL, it uses full-spectrum, multi-energy acquisition with a dedicated secondary spectral detector to capture elemental signatures across the sample.
With SPECTRAL Suite and Acquila™ software working together, users can target regions of interest, reconstruct spectra, and correlate elemental with structural information in one workflow. This delivers clear material contrast and reliable elemental identification in every scan.
- Non-destructive spectral micro-CT for 3D elemental information at any point inside the sample
- TrueContrast™ multi-energy imaging to differentiate similar-density materials conventional CT cannot
- Material identification using k-edge detection for absolute elemental identification without prior knowledge
- Material identification using effective atomic number (Z-eff) and density extraction
- SPECTRAL Suite + Acquila™ integration for VOI targeting, spectral reconstruction, and analysis

INTEGRATION THAT DRIVES INSIGHT
Tescan Spectral CT works seamlessly with SPECTRAL Suite and Acquila™ micro-CT control software to streamline spectral imaging from acquisition to analysis. Used as an add-on with the UniTOM XL platform, users can target volumes of interest, capture full-spectrum data, and visualize structural and elemental information in one workflow.
Researchers benefit from intuitive controls, guided reconstruction, and automated spectral processing. Spectral Suite handles spectrum matching, K-edge detection, and compositional mapping with minimal setup. This delivers consistent, reproducible results across samples and accelerates multi-energy micro-CT analysis.
