CT @ SIMBIOS
The aim of our service is to provide a high quality capturing 3D internal structures and predicting complex processes on-going within the structures. Initial scans are always free; we will demonstrate our capabilities on a trial basis and create a partnership with you, for your needs.
What is CT @ SIMBIOS?
CT @ SIMBIOS offers unrivalled expertise in capturing and quantifying the interior 3D structure of a wide range of materials. Using high resolution x-ray tomography coupled with advanced software, μSIMCT is able to capture the interior structure of materials, quantify pores, defects, bone architecture and predict and measure a wide range of functions: permeability, fluid intrusion and retention. We can resolve features down to 1 μm resolution and differentiate between composite materials.
CT @ SIMBIOS is a unique service offering a ‘capture to prediction’ capability. Already recognised as leaders in using and developing μCT, our services are available to academics and industrial partners at competitive rates.
CT @ SIMBIOS is part of the SIMBIOS Centre of Excellence and thus has an impressive team of experienced and successful experimentalists and modellers supporting its activities.
