SkyScan micro-CT support products
Introduction
SkyScan supply a range of support products to assist users and distributors – all involved with micro-CT scanning with SkyScan
instruments – with every practical aspect of micro-CT scanning. This includes sample preparation, mounting of samples in ex vivo
and in vivo scanners, and accessories for in vivo scanning. This list does not however include the four special stages with embedded
microprocessor controllers (material testing stage, cooling stage, heating stage and the micro-positioning stage).
Several new items are featured including a set of vertical plastic tube holders for the 1172 and 1174 scanners, a special large object
holder for the 1173 scanner, and a mechanical gripping holder (“spider”) for all ex vivo scanners.
These products will significantly assist users in the mounting of samples for scanning.
Users should be aware that stable and symmetrical mounting of samples for scanning will enhance the quality and repeatability of
scans and scan analysis results.
Other products in this range include alignment pins (different for all scanners), calibration phantoms for bone mineral density
(BMD), tissue density phantoms for in vivo scanning and the aluminium thickness measurement phantom.
