Welcome to the KU Leuven XCT Core Facility!

The KU Leuven XCT Core Facility offers X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) infrastructure and services to study the internal structure and behavior of materials and biological tissues at different length scales.

Our Infrastructure

At KU Leuven XCT Core Facility we have an extensive infrastructure of XCT scanners,  in-situ stages &  software.

TeScan Unitom HR

The Unitom HR is a modular and flexible sub-micron resolution XCT system. The system aims at making high resolution and high contrast images.

We are excited to announce the 6th Symposium on X-ray Computed Tomography, along with the inauguration of the recently launched KU Leuven XCT Core Facility, to take place on May 24&25, 2022 at the Thermotechnical Institute in Heverlee (KU Leuven).

KU Leuven XCT Core Facility Research lines

Application fields: non-destructive testing (NDT) and quality control, study of material behaviour and its functional properties under specified environmental conditions, and production and material optimization. Covering a resolution range of 400 nm up to several hundred micrometers to unravel the internal structure, morphology, microstructural changes or damage development in materialsfrom high quality 3D XCT images.

Complex materials, composites, geopolymers, agricultural products and food, dental materials, building materials and biological tissues. Scientists using the equipment and software of the KU Leuven XCT Core Facility profit from the synergy that the collaboration with experienced users in the field provides.
