EclipseXRM – a high-class submicron XRM system

from SIGRAY

The EclipseXRM system offers the highest spatial resolution available on the market (0.3 µm with voxel size of <100 nm) combined with the new unique Tri-Contrast mode. Tri-contrast mode will give you simultaneously absorption, quantitative phase as well as darkfield contrast information.

Features
  • 3D XRM with <100 nm voxel size and spatial resolution of 0.5 µm
  • Unique contrast options (Tri-Contrast mode)
  • Several detection systems for a maximum resolution and FOV

Further information

Tri-Contrast Mode

The EclipseXRM gives you access to three unique and different detection modes. Absorption, quantitative phase and subresolution darkfield mode. Each mode will give new information regarding your sample which offers a complete new insight and opportunities for applications like battery research or failure analysis as well as Life Science questions.

Quantitative Phase™ contrast

The EclipseXRM is not only offering the traditional propagation phase contras mode but in addition the new and unique quantitative phase contrast. The normal propagation phase contrast is only a so-called edge-enhancing method while the new quantitative phase mode reveals direct information regarding the refraction index of your sample which will give you the possibility to differ between the density and the atomic number of the material. This is extremely helpful if you look at samples with a very low x-ray absorption contrast like biological or polymer samples.

Nanofocus x-ray source and Tri-Contrast x-ray source

The new EclipseXRM combines two different x-ray sources in one system. This will offer a maximum of flexibility and efficiency. All EclipseXRM sources are maintenance-free without the cost of consumables or requiring frequent downtimes for filament changes. The nanofocus x-ray source offer a resolution in the submicron range (0.5 µm) while the Tri-Contrast x-ray source offers access to three different contrast mechanisms.

As another alternative the EclipseXRM can be equipped with the breakthrough FAAST x-ray source from Sigray. This source can be setup with 5x different target materials (like Cr, Cu, Rh, W, Mo, Au, Ti, Ag,…) which will result in a true multi-energy source. Each target material can be selected via software without the need of any hardware changes.
