WHERE TESCAN UniTOM HR

MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

High Spatial Resolution without Compromise

Reveal the smallest structural details with <600 nm resolution with precision motion stages, and advanced detector configurations. UniTOM HR achieves sub-micron spatial resolution without compromising on temporal performance or imaging stability.

Dynamic micro-CT with True 4D Capability

Observe materials as they change over time. Continuous rotation, high-speed detectors, and specialized 4D reconstruction tools enable real-time imaging at temporal resolutions below five seconds per scan.

In Situ Experimentation Made Practical

Tescan UniTOM HR integrates key utilities from the TESCAN DynaTOM in situ platform. This includes an optional external connection interface for in situ rigs and slip-ring technology that prevents cable wrap during continuous rotation.

Flexible Imaging for Diverse Samples

Accommodate a broad range of samples with a heavy-load stage (45 kg) and a spacious volume capacity up to 500 mm × 700 mm. Multiple detector options ensure optimal contrast and field of view for every material type.

Multi-Scale Imaging with VOIS

Volume of Interest Scanning (VOIS) allows targeted high-resolution imaging within larger samples. Capture both global context and local microstructure in a single workflow.

Integrated Software Control

Acquila™ and Panthera™ software packages support system control, image acquisition, reconstruction, and visualization. Researchers maintain complete control of data quality and workflow efficiency from setup through final analysis.
