Tescan UniTOM XL for Materials Science

Tescan UniTOM XL is a versatile micro-CT system designed for laboratories that require flexibility across sample sizes, imaging modes, and experimental setups. It enables high-resolution non-destructive 3D imaging as well as continuous dynamic CT for real-time in situ studies. With intuitive multiscale workflows and open software, UniTOM XL supports research on complex, heterogeneous materials, from structural composites to additively manufactured parts.

Scan entire samples up to 1 meter tall and 60 cm in diameter

Multiscale imaging workflow for zooming from whole parts to pores and cracks

Dynamic CT for visualizing how materials form, deform, and fail

In situ access with radiation-safe feedthroughs and slip-ring technology

WHERE Tescan UNITOM XL MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Multiscale imaging

Move from large volumes to fine details within the same workflow using Volume of Interest Scanning.

High throughput

Fast detectors, high flux source, and automated batch workflows shorten time to results.

Flexible acquisition modes

Support for stitching, batch scanning, and multiple trajectories across up to 10 motorized axes.

True 4D dynamic CT

Capture material behavior in real time with continuous rotation and sub-3 seconds temporal resolution.

In situ connectivity

Radiation-safe feedthroughs and slip-ring integration allow the use of tensile, compression, or environmental stages.

Accessible architecture

Open software and hardware design make it straightforward to integrate custom equipment and workflows.

IN MATERIALS SCIENCE

Composite research

Characterize large composite parts and zoom in on fiber and pore structures. Multiscale CT reveals defects like cracks and delamination in context with the overall structure.

Additive manufacturing

Inspect the internal structure of large 3D-printed metal and polymer parts. High-resolution CT highlights pores and contaminants without cutting or subsampling.

Building materials

Study concrete, ceramics, and wood in 3D. Non-destructive imaging reveals porosity, cracks, and grain distribution, supporting durability and quality assessment.

In situ imaging

Visualize how materials deform under load, heat, or environmental changes. Dynamic CT shows the evolution of cracks, failure mechanisms, and internal transformations in real time.
