- X4 Poseidon Modular Micro-CT
X4 Poseidon™
Bruker’s X4 POSEIDON™ modular micro-CT system is a major advancement in desktop micro-CT technology that delivers faster scanning, higher resolution, and exceptional flexibility. The POSEIDON is the only true multi-detector benchtop micro-CT system, offering continuously variable magnification and a dual detector setup. The new modular system allows researchers to adjust positions of both the sample and detector, which when combined with detector choice gives the perfect balance between resolution, scan speed, and Field-of-View.
- Two optional X-ray sources with spot sizes as small as 2 µm
- Can be configured with a versatile flat-panel detector, a scientific-grade CMOS detector, or BOTH
- Both sample and detector positions can be adjusted, along with a choice of detector
- Provides the perfect balance between resolution, scan speed, and Field-of-View.
Features
MODULAR
The X4 POSEIDON is the only true multi-detector benchtop micro-CT system, offering continuously variable magnification and a dual detector setup. The POSEIDON features two optional X-ray sources with spot sizes as small as 2 µm and can be configured with a versatile flat-panel detector, a scientific-grade CMOS detector, or BOTH, so users don’t need to choose between speed or resolution.
The POSEIDON is designed to allow for upgrades, including modifications that can be done directly in your lab. Start with the essential instrument and add upgrades when desired.
X-RAY SOURCE OPTIONS
Choose between two X-ray sources, one with a spot size as small as 2 µm, or a 5 µm spot size similar to the Skyscan 1272 but with higher power for faster scans.
DETECTOR FLEXIBILITY
Can be equipped with a high-resolution CMOS detector (offering better resolution than the Skyscan 1272), a flat panel detector for larger samples, or BOTH, with an automatic elevator for detector exchange.
The dual-detector option effectively gives you the functionality of two micro-CT systems in a single instrument, enhancing both versatility and efficiency.
ENHANCED VARIABLE GEOMETRY
Building on the three-position variable geometry of the Skyscan 1272, the X4 Poseidon allows complete freedom to optimize source-to-object and object-to-detector distances, enabling better resolution and faster scan times for a wider variety of samples.
SAMPLE CHANGER
Can be upgraded with a 15-position sample changer to maximize instrument usage and minimize operator interaction. Positioned in front of the instrument, the status of each position is indicated by an LED, allowing sample addition or replacement at any time, even during operation.
IN SITU STAGES
Bruker’s proprietary material testing stages can be added to perform compression and tensile experiments up to 4400 N and 440 N, and heating and cooling stages can reach temperatures of 77 °F below ambient to 176 °F.
SOFTWARE
User-centered 3DxSUITE software – intuitive, simple yet powerful, the software is designed to be a true turnkey measurement and analysis solution.
