I spy with my "little" eye a ... ? (Picture)

You caught the real essence of this photo - the resolution.

It is a X-ray microCT system with a 10MP CCD camera.

Maximum resolution 1.5 micron pixel size, or 5 micron low contrast resolution

Unfortunately maximum specimen size is 50mm x 60mm x 60mm.

Full resolution of available space generates up to 50+ GB data per specimen

CT photos coming :)9

 

Sorry for bubbling in geekish...

 

neat, so it's a combo x-ray/ct machine?! can't wait to see your ct pics...

 

may have to bribe one of the ct techs to scan my pens, unfortunately i think the images can only routinely reconstruct down to 1.25mm slices. i'll see if i can reformat the data on a workstation to render some interesting views...

Parker 51 Special with the breather tube was removed. This is a machine that has a great resolution capability (down to 1/20 of the diameter of human hair) but the sample size is limited (50mmx50mmx50mm), so the breather tube did not fit in the field of view. I will get back "soon" with more pictures.

 

DWL check here for a hand+pen x-ray.

Thats just freakin' AWESOME! Thanks bud.
