PCX - Phase Contrast Optimised X-Ray

The PCX is the only commercial in-line laboratory scale phase-contrast X-ray system available today.

Using XRT's patented imaging technology, including an X-ray source of high lateral spacial coherence, proven phase retrieval software and a high resolution large array detector, PCX may be configured to acquire absorption images, phase and absorption images, or images with a very pronounced phase signature. Phase plays a large part in producing images of high contrast - particularly from structures which are weakly absorbing and thus not amenable to imaging by conventional X-ray techniques.

Areas where phase contrast is extremely beneficial include structural and fibre filled polymers, wood products, seed technology, food technology, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, bone morphology, food products, small animal imaging and specimen pathology.
