Skyscan 1076
The SkyScan 1076 is an ultra-high resolution micro-computed tomography scanner with a finest resolution of 2.8 μm. Step-and-shoot and continuous gantry rotation with shortest scanning cycle of 3.9 sec. The SkyScan 1276 system is supplied with exchangeable animal cassettes that can be used in all Bruker in-vivo imaging instruments such as MRI. It allows co-registration of functional and morphological information from the same animal to provide more complete information. In addition to the “Step and Shoot” scanning mode, more recent the “Spiral” scans are used to process objects in a sheet parallel arrangement that are more powerful.
The hardware specifications of SkyScan 1076 included:
1. x-ray sources: <5 μm spot size, 20-100 kV and 4 position filter changer(no filter, AI 0.5 mm, Ti 0.025 mm AI 1.0 mm).
2. scanning area: 35 or 68 mm in diameter, 200 mm in length.
3. x-ray detectors: 10 mega pixel, 12 bit digital X-ray cameras.
4. pixel size: 9 μm, 18μm, 35μm.
5. data formats: BMP for results and three-dimension movies conversion to TIF, JPG, AVI.
