iLab Organizer :: ABI Micro CT Facility

Overview of Services

The microCT facility at the ABI was established in 2005 with the installation of a SkyScan 1172 instrument. The capabilities of the facility was expanded at the beginning of 2015 with the installation of the new generation Bruker/SkyScan 1272 instrument capable of sub-micron pixel resolution. The original 1172 was also overhauled at the factory with a new source & higher Megapixel camera. Since the beginning of 2015 Dane Gerneke has been managing the instruments and providing a professional service on all aspects of imaging & specimen preparation.

MicroCT & X-ray microscope: Is an imaging modality to non-destructively obtain 3D & 2D structural information & volumetric analysis, down to sub-micron pixel resolution, of samples from multiple disciplines – Life, Medical, Material, Geological & Engineering sciences as well as numerous Industrial applications.
