The Skyscan 1272 is a high-resolution desktop X-ray microtomograph, optimized for small samples. The focus of this system is to provide a simple plug and analyse experience to its users. The scanner is equipped with a 16-position sample changer and Genius-Mode, which means that routine scanning is fully automated, but also that multiple sample types, objects, and materials can be intermixed and automatically scanned with varying protocols for each sample type.
Optimized for routine scanning
