Product Details

Tescan Spectral CT is designed for laboratories that need non-destructive 3D elemental insight alongside structural imaging. As an add-on to the Tescan UniTOM® XL, it uses full-spectrum, multi-energy acquisition with a dedicated secondary spectral detector to capture elemental signatures across the sample.

With Tescan Spectral Suite™ and Acquila™ software working together, users can target regions of interest, reconstruct spectra, and correlate elemental with structural information in one workflow. This delivers clear material contrast and reliable elemental identification in every scan.

Non-destructive spectral micro-CT for 3D elemental information at any point inside the sample

TrueContrast™ multi-energy imaging to differentiate similar-density materials conventional CT cannot

Material identification using k-edge detection for absolute elemental identification without prior knowledge

Material identification using effective atomic number (Z-eff) and density extraction

Spectral Suite™ + Acquila™ integration for VOI targeting, spectral reconstruction, and analysis

Where Tescan Spectral CT makes the difference

Full-Spectrum Imaging

Capture the entire X-ray spectrum during every scan to reveal both structural and elemental information in one dataset—no additional instruments or destructive preparation required.

True Multi-Energy Contrast

Differentiate polymers, metals, or biological tissues with TrueContrast™ multi-energy imaging, delivering clarity where conventional micro-CT reaches its limits.

K-Edge Element Detection

Identify and map precious metals and elements with absolute certainty using K-edge detection, enabling confident analysis of complex or unknown materials.

Non-Destructive compositional Insight

Visualize internal composition and extract material density without cutting or altering samples, preserving integrity for further testing or archival studies.

Integrated Spectral Suite™

Control acquisition, reconstruction, and spectral analysis through Spectral Suite™ software, fully synchronized with Acquila™ micro-CT control for streamlined workflows.

Versatile Multi-Disciplinary Applications

From mineral cores to polymer composites and biological specimens, SPECTRAL CT expands UniTOM® XL performance into new domains of 3D elemental and structural research.

TESCAN SPECTRAL SUITE™ INTEGRATION THAT DRIVES INSIGHT

Tescan Spectral CT works seamlessly with Spectral Suite™ and Acquila™ micro-CT control software to streamline spectral imaging from acquisition to analysis. Used as an add-on with the UniTOM® XL platform, users can target volumes of interest, capture full-spectrum data, and visualize structural and elemental information in one workflow.

Researchers benefit from intuitive controls, guided reconstruction, and automated spectral processing. Spectral Suite™ handles spectrum matching, K-edge detection, and compositional mapping with minimal setup. This delivers consistent, reproducible results across samples and accelerates multi-energy micro-CT analysis.
