CT Lab HR160 achieves true 250 nm spatial resolution — an industry-leading level for CT systems in its class.
Article content
CT Lab HR160 combines Rigaku’s X-ray CT imaging expertise with Excillum’s NanoTube N3 X-ray source. Operating at up to 160 kV to support a wide range of sample types, the system achieves true 250 nm spatial resolution — an industry-leading level for CT systems in its class. This enables detailed, non-destructive 3D imaging of fine internal structures and defects that can be difficult to observe with conventional laboratory CT systems.

Its cone-beam geometry allows users to adjust the field of view and resolution without changing the X-ray source, detector, simplifying operation across different samples and imaging requirements. The system is designed for applications such as solid-state batteries, semiconductor devices, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), and power electronics, where internal inspection plays an increasingly important role in research, development, quality evaluation, and failure analysis.

As electronic components and advanced materials become smaller, more complex, and higher-performing, researchers and manufacturers need analytical tools that can reveal increasingly fine internal features with greater precision. Built on the combined strengths of Rigaku and Excillum, CT Lab HR160 addresses these needs by providing a high-resolution laboratory CT environment that supports faster development, improved product quality, and more advanced failure analysis.
