Empyrean diffractometer - Tomography: Malvern-Panalytical EMPYREAN: PXRD tomography

The ‍Malvern-Panalytical ‍EMPYREAN ‍X-ray diffractometer ‍ist ‍with ‍a ‍Mo-LFF tube ‍(or ‍Cu tube), ‍einem ‍Rotary sample well ‍für ‍CT ‍und ‍einem ‍hochmodernen ‍Detektionssystem, ‍dem ‍GaliPIX3D, ‍ausgestattet, ‍das ‍in ‍der ‍Lage ‍ist, ‍Daten ‍zu ‍sammeln, ‍die ‍für ‍die ‍3D processing ‍in ‍der ‍Computertomographie ‍geeignet ‍sind.‍Computed tomography ‍(CT) ‍provides ‍the ‍possibility to analyse ‍various ‍properties ‍(e.g. ‍quantity/type/connectivity ‍of ‍pores, ‍Rissen, ‍Einschlüssen, ‍Mineralverteilung, ‍Vorzugsrichtungen, ‍Wanddicke, ‍Oberfläche) ‍durch ‍dreidimensionale ‍virtuelle ‍Rekonstruktionen ‍der ‍Probe ‍schnell ‍und ‍zerstörungsfrei ‍zu ‍analysieren ‍und ‍zu ‍visualisieren.
