High-Throughput, Multi-Scale Dynamic micro-CT for Imaging in Real-Time
Tescan UniTOM® XL
Tescan UniTOM® XL, and its smaller version, CoreTOM® are designed for research environments where temporal resolution, imaging flexibility, and experimental throughput matter. A high-power X-ray source, fast large-field detector, and automated multi-sample workflows work together to keep your lab focused on insight, not setup. This results in faster scans, richer data, and true 4D visualization of materials in action.
- High temporal resolution for dynamic, in situ, and continuous 3D imaging
- Large-sample and multi-scale capability with a spacious scanning envelope
- Optimized throughput and reproducibility through automated batch scanning
- Seamless workflow control with Acquila™ and Panthera™ software integration
Tescan UniTOM XL in Materials Science
High-resolution, non-destructive imaging for structural and dynamic analysis
- Multi-scale micro-CT enables visualization of structures from millimeters down to microns
- Continuous 4D imaging reveals deformation, cracking, or phase changes in real time
- Insitu interfaces allow live observation under thermal, mechanical, or chemical stimuli
Tescan UniTOM XL supports material research where understanding internal structure and evolution over time is essential. Its combination of high temporal and spatial resolution enables researchers to quantify changes such as fracture propagation, composite failure, and pore evolution. The result is a reproducible, non-destructive insight into material performance and durability.
Tescan UniTOM XL in Energy and Battery Research
Dynamic micro-CT for studying material behavior during operation
- Real-time visualization of electrode swelling, and electrolyte movement
- Non-destructive analysis of battery cells, electrodes, and solid-state interfaces
- Multi-scale imaging captures microstructural evolution from particle to full cell
TESCAN UniTOM XL enables time-resolved micro-CT imaging of batteries under realistic operating conditions. Fast acquisition and continuous rotation support uninterrupted observation during charge–discharge cycling or thermal stress. This enables clearer insight into electrode design, cycle-life behavior, and safety performance.
Tescan UniTOM XL and CoreTOM in Geoscience and Porous Media
In situ observation of fluid flow and structural changes in geological samples
- High temporal resolution captures fluid flow, trapping, and fracture dynamics
- Large scanning envelope accommodates full size rock cores up to 1m tall
- Non-destructive imaging preserves sample integrity for repeated testing
Tescan UniTOM XL, and its smaller version, CoreTOM enable geoscientists to observe pore-scale processes in real time. Researchers can follow fluid migration pathways and mineral–fluid interactions in reservoir rocks, extending to CO₂ and H₂ storage scenarios. The system’s large sample capacity and dynamic imaging performance make it ideal for correlating laboratory experiments with reservoir-scale models.
TESCAN UniTOM XL in Industrial and Manufacturing Research
High-throughput 3D and 4D imaging for process optimization and quality assurance
- Non-destructive inspection of components and assemblies for defect detection
- Batch scanning and automated reconstruction for multi-user laboratory environments
- Multi-scale imaging supporting analysis from part-level structure to micro-defect formation
TESCAN UniTOM XL delivers fast, repeatable imaging that supports process validation and failure analysis in industrial R&D and quality control. Its combination of throughput, resolution, and large-sample handling reduces inspection time while maintaining quantitative accuracy, ensuring reliable evaluation of manufactured materials and components.
AUTOMATION THAT STREAMLINES 4D IMAGING WORKFLOWS
Tescan UniTOM® XL integrates seamlessly with the Acquila™ and Panthera™ software environment, providing coordinated control of acquisition, reconstruction, and visualization. Dynamic CT experiments may run without interruption, with reconstruction and analysis carried out alongside acquisition to maintain workflow efficiency, ensuring uninterrupted operation and maximum throughput.
The software suite offers automated workflow management, live monitoring, and real-time visualization in an intuitive interface that reduces setup time and ensures reproducible results. For dynamic or in situ studies, Acquila™ and Panthera™ synchronize imaging with external rigs and detectors to maintain full experimental control throughout the 4D imaging process.
