A high-resolution X-ray microtomography system

该项目旨在建立Sanco microCT 50高分辨率X射线显微断层成像系统，以非破坏性地可视化和定量表征复杂样品，包括先进复合材料、组织工程构造、生物组织、矿物和化石。这些样品的非破坏性表征对于推进研究至关重要。多功能系统提供高空间分辨率(低至500纳米体素大小)和大样本大小(高达100毫米直径)。该项目将使先进复合材料、添加剂生物制造、生物组织生理学和古生物学取得进展，这将使澳大利亚的科学受益。此外，通过商业化和新公司的成立，该项目可能会给更广泛的澳大利亚人口和经济带来经济和健康方面的好处。

This project aims to establish a Scanco microCT 50 high resolution X-Ray microtomography system, to non-destructively visualise and quantitatively characterise complex samples, including advanced composites, tissue engineering constructs, biological tissues, minerals and fossils. The non-destructive characterisation of these samples is critical to advance research. The versatile system offers high spatial resolution (down to 500 nm voxel size) and large sample size (up to 100 mm diameter). The project will enable progress in advanced composites, additive bio-manufacturing, physiology of biological tissues and palaeontology which will benefit Australian science. Additionally, through commercialisation and the formation of new companies, the project could potentially result in economic and health benefits to the wider Australian population and economy.
