The Phoenix Nanotom® M is a nanofocus X-ray CT system for scientific and industrial computed tomography (microCT and nanoCT®) and 3D metrology. The system realizes a unique spatial and contrast resolution on a wide sample and application range. Fully automated execution of CT scan, reconstruction and analysis process ensures its ease of use and fast, reliable CT results. Precise and reproducible 3D measurements of complex objects and the automatic generation of first article inspection reports within an hour are possible.
High spatial and contrast 3D CT resolution starts here
High-resolution computed tomography (CT) has become a powerful inspection tool for a wide range of industrial and scientific inspection and metrology applications such as non-destructive structure and failure analysis as well as for quality assurance or production control.
With its 180 kV/20 W ultra-high performance nanofocus X-ray tube, precision mechanics and advanced software modules, the Phoenix Nanotom® M is the inspection solution for a wide range of 3D CT applications. Once scanned, the fully three-dimensional CT information allows many possibilities for analysis, e.g. non-destructive visualization of slices, arbitrary sectional views, or automatic pore analysis.

Metrology bundle for 3D metrology applications including: temperature stabilized cabinet, high accuracy direct measuring system, vibration insulation of the granite based manipulator
Optional Helix|scan capability to scan longer parts with better quality
For extremely high focal spot stability and up to 2 times faster data acquisition at the same high image quality level
Although the focal spot of microfocus tubes is as small as a few microns, it is still large enough to cause a half shadow, known as the penumbra effect. This results in a residual unsharpness and can be avoided by using nanofocus technology. Nanofocus provides focal spots well below one micron while maintaining the highest intensity needed. The Nanotom M combines state of the art microCT with the possibility to scan small, low absorbing samples with submicron detail detectability.
