Strategic Partnership aims to Advance Materials Characterisation

摘要

Zeiss Microscopy business group has signed an exclusive strategic partnership agreement with Denmark-based Xnovo Technology ApS,a company that develops innovative software-based 3D X-ray imaging and analysis solutions.The two companies have already been working together over the past two years,to further advancement and expansion of the laboratory-based diffraction contrast tomography technique,commercialised as LabDCT,on Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa.The module non-destructively obtains 3D crystallographic information from polycrystalline samples which can provide new possibilities for characterising damage,deformation and growth phenomena in 3D materials science in the laboratory.The development of new materials needed in frontiering fields such as metals for additive manufacturing,alloys for bioengineering,or the high-strength-to-weight materials required by aerospace and automotive industries,requires the use of an expanding set of new research techniques.
