The Technology Behind Xradia Versa X-ray Microscopes

The Versatile Advantage of RaaD
The two-stage magnification technique offered by ZEISS Xradia Versa uniquely achieves Resolution at a Distance, or RaaD, which enables you to effectively study the widest range of sample sizes, including those within in situ chambers.
Images are initially magnified via geometric projection as with conventional microCT. The projected image is cast onto a scintillator, converting X-rays to a visible light image which is then optically magnified by microscope optics before acquisition by a CCD detector.
Reducing dependence on geometric magnification enables ZEISS Xradia Versa solutions to maintain submicron spatial resolution down to 500 nm at large working distances.

Push the Limits of Scientific Advancement
ZEISS Xradia X-ray systems provide the industry's premier 3D imaging solution for the widest variety of in situ rigs, from high-pressure flow cells to tension, compression, and thermal stages. Moving beyond the three dimensions of space, leverage the non-destructive nature of X-ray investigation to extend your studies into the dimension of time with 4D experiments.
These studies require samples to be further away from the X-ray source to accommodate various types of in situ rigs. On traditional microCT systems, this significantly limits the resolution achievable for your samples. ZEISS XRM are uniquely equipped with dual-stage magnification architecture with RaaD technology that enable the highest resolution for in situ imaging.
ZEISS Xradia XRM platforms can accommodate a variety of in situ rigs, from high-pressure flow cells to tension, compression, and thermal stages, to user-customized designs. You can add the optional in situ Interface Kit to your ZEISS Xradia XRM, which includes a mechanical integration kit, a robust cabling guide, and other facilities (feed-throughs) along with recipe-based software that simplifies your control from within the Versa Scout-and-Scan user interface. When your needs require pushing the resolution limits of your in situ experiments, convert your ZEISS Xradia microCT or XRM to an Xradia 620 Versa X-ray microscope and leverage RaaD technology for the maximum performance tomographic imaging of samples within in situ chambers or rigs.

Begin Your Multi-Scale, Multi-Modal, Multi-Dimensional Microscopy with Non-destructive 3D Imaging
Because of the non-destructive nature of X-rays and the versatile array of sample types and sizes they are able to image, correlative microscopy often begins with, or is enabled by, ZEISS Xradia Versa XRM.
Using the Scout-and-Zoom capability of Versa, you are able to clearly define your region of interest (ROI) before sacrificing your sample to premature cutting or other sample prep. Rapidly scout at low resolution with a large field of view, and then zoom to the ROI at higher resolution, whether using the range of Versa objectives (up to 40X), nanoscale Xradia Ultra XRM, or ZEISS light, electron, or FIB-SEM microscopes. This prevents premature sample destruction and allows for maximum workflow efficiency while combining full sample context with key sample information.
Additionally, the ability to perform interior tomography, or to clearly see inside your sample in 3D, further reduces the risk of losing sight of your ROI. Achieve greater efficiency by pinpointing a specific “address” to which to navigate for accurate and efficient next steps for interrogating your sample.
Finally, examine your sample under varying conditions and over time with in situ and 4D studies before performing further analysis — chemical, surface, etc.— with other ZEISS modalities.
Leverage the widest array of microscopy solutions available — exclusively from ZEISS — to perform multi-modal, multi-lengthscale, multi-dimensional analyses, by starting with non-destructive 3D X-ray microscopy.
