X-ray Microscopy

The Yvlon Cougar X-ray microscope provides non-destructive imaging capabilities on specimens across a range of length scales, observing features with sizes spanning from millimeters to micrometers.

The techniques reveal structural characteristics and flaws, such as cracks and pores, or composition features. There is a wide variety of applications in materials science, life science, geoscience and microelectronics - from biological objects such as insects or bones, over structural materials like alloys - to image the distribution of precipitates - and composites - to image the components and the quality of interfaces such as interconnects in micro-electronic products and miniaturized sensors.
