Th, 11. August 2022 A real heavyweight has moved into the research building at Aalen University: A crane was used to hoist the 3D X-ray microscope, which weighs around 2.7 tons, into the Center for Technology for Sustainability (ZTN). "The system gives us the highest resolution and previously unattainable degrees of freedom in the non-destructive analysis of materials," Jan Niedermeier and Andreas Kopp from Aalen University are pleased to report. With the ZEISS Xradia Versa 610 model, the researchers can now pursue completely new questions across institutes and gain valuable insights into the inner workings of components.
