Mission, Goals, Capabilities
The mission of the microCT core facility is to support research by providing this state-of-the-art imaging technology for detailed morphological and structural analysis of biological specimens.
Our SkyScan 1275 microCT system can provide detailed 3D imaging at micrometer resolution, allowing for precise visualization of internal structures without destructive sampling.
Our facility is equipped to handle ex vivo samples up to 96 mm in diameter (should fit into a 50 mL conical tube). Generally, samples can be scanned in less than an hour. Users will then perform reconstruction and analysis on site or at their own workstation.
Both self-service and full-service is available. Training is required before independent use can be scheduled.
